However, a number of cellulose derivatives, such as methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose, have been explored as biomaterials due to the useful material properties exhibited by these synthetically created derivatives [83]. The potential applications include drug-delivery ...
3c). The modified cellulose materials possess both pH-responsive and surfactant properties. Via etherification, both hydrophilic (such as HEC, CMC) and hydrophobic (such as EC) cellulose derivatives could be obtained. In that case, the hydrophobic cellulose ethers are also used as coating materia...
Cellulosic materials are attractive hybrid combinations that avail an array of hitherto unachievable properties by conjugating with organic, inorganic,and nano- and polymeric compounds. Cellulose-based materials have established great potential in several fields, such as air purification, water remediation, ...
and theoretical analyses reveal that the introduction of phthalate groups is essential to not only ensure effective multi-oxygen interaction with Li ions to create fast ion transportation channels, but also facilitates the intermolecular hydrogen bond responsible for the impressive mechanical properties. The...
The present study provides a strong basis for the subsequent functional research of cellulose biosynthesis-involved genes inP. eburnea, and provides a reference for breeding and/or engineering this calcium-rich vegetable with decreased leaf cellulose content to improve the taste. ...
Hemicelluloses, a family of heterogeneous polysaccharides with complex molecular structures, constitute a fundamental component of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the contribution of each hemicellulose type to the mechanical properties of secondary plant cell walls remains elusive. Here we homogeneously incorp...
forming such a structure in the course of the mercerization seems to be significantly hindered, while it seems to be quite possible in the regeneration process. In this work, we discuss the sticking points in the theory on the antiparallel structure of mercerized cellulose from a theoretical poin...

The enzyme exhibited an optimum activity at pH 5.0 and 50 °C and was highly tolerant to glucose inhibition, with a Ki value of 1.4 M (252 mg/ml). Substrate inhibition was not observed with 40 mM pNPβG or 15% cellobiose. Some properties of this enzyme are summarized i...
Its properties also demonstrate a hygroscopic nature, which makes it susceptible to moisture permeation and solubility in GI fluid. A reconstituted colloidal dispersion of latex particles has been developed by FMC Corporation, known as the patented aqueous enteric coating, Aquateric, which constitutes ...
