Many of the microstructural and molecular details of crystalline, amorphous and liquid-crystalline cellulose remain to be uncovered. Glycopeptides are evidently crucial players in the specificity ...

Learn how to clean cat urine from baseboards effectively with our step-by-step guide. Discover the best methods and products ...

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by cellulases is a typical heterogeneous reaction at a solid/liquid interface ... the structure–function relationship of the cellobiohydrolases on crystalline ...

The photoalignment of liquid crystalline materials has been studied extensively over the past two and a half decades and has recently become of technological importance in the liquid crystal ...

After another year of top-tier entries across the board, the first round of judging has come to a close - now the ...

But cellulose, the most abundant renewable polymer on the planet, is extremely recalcitrant to biological depolymerization. Although composed entirely of glucose units, its crystalline microfibrillar ...

Abstract: Liquid crystal (LC) is an anisotropic liquid material, which flows like a liquid, but at the same time, its molecules have an orientational order like in the solid state. Thus, LC is a ...

1 proposed by Segal et al. (1959). Where CI is the crystalline index (%), I200 is the maximum intensity of the main diffraction peak (2θ = 22.7º for cellulose I and 2θ = 21.7º for cellulose II), and ...

Homogeneous modification of cellulose, isolated with 10% KOH from delignified sugarcane bagasse, was performed in room-temperature ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylinidazolium chloride with phthalic ...

Impact Statement: We demonstrate blue phase liquid crystal films refilled with different nematic liquid crystals. The effects of birefringence and average refractive index of refilled nematic liquid ...
