RECENTLY I have examined several samples of cast plasticized secondary cellulose acetate sheet material under the microscope. With crossed nicols a uniform yellow polarization colour was shown ...

The main component of lignocellulose is cellulose, a beta(1–4)-linked chain of glucose molecules. Hydrogen bonds between different layers of the polysaccharides contribute to the resistance of ...

The Cellulose Chemistry research group, lead by Dr. Alistair King, concerns the development of techniques for tuning the reactivity of bulk cellulose and at the surface, with applications in textiles, ...

Researchers successfully replicated the key aspect of this behavior – the direction-dependent structure of cellulose within plant tissues – using readily available 3D printing technology.

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make ...
