In the cellulose scientific community, hydrogen bonding is often used as the explanation for
a large variety of phenomena and properties related to cellulose and cellulose based …

How do trees support their upright massive bodies? The support comes from the incredibly
strong and stiff, and highly crystalline nanoscale fibrils of extended cellulose chains, called …

Nanocellulose has been widely concerned and applied in recent years. Because of its high
aspect ratio, large specific surface area, good modifiability, high mechanical strength …

Cellulose samples are routinely analyzed by X-ray diffraction to determine their crystal type
(polymorph) and crystallinity. However, the connection is seldom made between those …

Nanocellulose is often being regarded as the next generation renewable reinforcement for
the production of high performance biocomposites. This feature article reviews the various …

Next-generation electronics (eg., substrate and conductor) need to be high performance,
multifunctional, and environmentally friendly. Here, we report the creation of a fully wood …

Aerogels of high porosity and with a large internal surface area exhibit outstanding
performances as thermal, acoustic, or electrical insulators. However, most aerogels are …

In trees, a-few-nanometers-wide crystalline fibrils of cellulose are tightly bundled with other
biopolymers, such as lignin and hemicelluloses, to form robust cell walls. Cellulose …

In this work, we prepared phosphorylated pulp with a phosphorous content of 1.23 mmol/g
by adding an aqueous solution of NH 4 H 2 PO 4 and urea to softwood pulp sheets followed …

A two-phase model of a wood microfibril consisting of crystalline cellulose and amorphous
hemicellulose is investigated with molecular dynamics in full range of sorption to understand …
