The Handbook of Fiber Chemistry, Third Edition provides complete coverage of scientific
and technological principles for all major natural and synthetic fibers. Incorporating new …

Cellulose microfibrils are a key component of plant cell walls, which in turn compose most of
our renewable biomaterials. Consequently, there is considerable interest in understanding …

Annual cotton production exceeds 25 million metric tons and accounts for more than 40
percent of the textile fiber consumed worldwide. A key textile fiber for over 5000 years, this …

The reaction mechanism of the hydrolysis of cellulose by a carbon-based solid acid,
amorphous carbon containing graphene sheets bearing SO3H, COOH, and phenolic OH …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to calculate the potentials of mean force for
separating short cellooligomers in aqueous solution as a means of estimating the …

The interest in the glyco-world is widespread and covers quite a number of different areas.
We restrict ourselves to underline some features concerning interactions and organization in …

Explicit-solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the 11 glucose-based
disaccharides in water at 300K and 1bar are reported. The simulations were carried out with …

Cellulose is present in biomass as crystalline microfibrils held together by a complex
network of intermolecular interactions making it difficult to initiate its hydrolysis and …

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have recently attracted much attention as innovative
nanomaterials with unique properties in the fields of physicochemistry and biomedicine,[1, 2] …

Carbon catalysts having weakly acidic groups are uniquely active for hydrolysis of cellulose
to produce cello-oligosaccharides and glucose. Although adsorption of cellulose molecules …
