Paper production requires large amounts of cellulosic fiber, whereas the world's forested
lands and croplands have a finite capacity to supply such resources. To deal with likely …

Efficient utilization of forestry, agriculture, and marine resources in various manufacturing
sectors requires optimizing fiber transformation, dewatering, and drying energy …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) show high modulus and strength and are already used in
industrial applications. Mechanical properties of neat CNF films or CNF–polymer matrix …

Background We and other workers have shown that accessory enzymes, such as β-
glucosidase, xylanase, and cellulase cofactors, such as GH61, can considerably enhance …

Although perfectly diagnosed in terms of the occurrence of physical changes, the
hornification phenomenon, in its origin, has frequently been associated with the formation of …

Hemicelluloses as matrix substances showed an important role in nanofibrillation of wood
pulp. Never-dried and once-dried pulps with different amounts of hemicelluloses were …

The solubility of four lignin samples and their acetylated forms was determined in a series of
organic solvents to investigate the relationship between solubility and the solubility …

Both reversible and irreversible changes take place as cellulosic fibers are manufactured
into paper products one or more times. This review considers both physical and chemical …

From a single plant source, a wide range of mechanically-deconstructed cellulose
nanomaterials can be obtained due to the large number of possible combinations of pre …

Fungi belonging to the genera Trichoderma and Gliocladium are soil-bourne saprophytes
which have been used for industrial and agricultural applications for decades. Some strains …
