In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of non-thermal technologies
for the selective depolymerization of cellulose to processable glucans. The synergy of these …

In this work, two environmentally friendly modification methods, UV irradiation and thermal
treatment, were applied for the first time for modifications of oat and barley starches. Their …

We report the detailed study of mechanically induced free radical (mechanoradical)
formation of glucose-based polysaccharides such as cellulose and amylose based on …

We studied autoxidation of lignin-containing and lignin-free pulps, initiated by the water-
soluble radical initiator 2, 2′-azobis (amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (ABAP). A fully …

Atmospheric pressure nonthermal plasma treatment can be a novel, green and low energy
method to convert biomass to biobased chemicals. The unique physiochemistry of plasma …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and cotton fibres, treated in an appositely set up RF SF6
plasma reactor under different operating conditions, were characterised by XPS, EPR, DSC …

The nature of peroxy radical formation from plasma-induced surface radicals of polyethylene
(PE), both low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), was …

Using EPR technique it was stated that copper ions introduced into potato starch, as catalyst
of its oxidation with H 2 O 2, was the active reagent in the generation of stable carbohydrate …

We have investigated the effect of non‐thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on the structure
of microcrystalline cellulose. In particular, by means of different characterization methods …

We have undertaken Ar plasma irradiation on poly (ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) powder,
and the radicals formed were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR). The room …
