Professor Ying-Chih Liao from the Department of Chemical Engineering at National Taiwan University has published a study in ...

The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass ... This is its exact classification because it has a copper atom embedded in its molecular structure, which itself acts as a ...

Inspired by the armor structured with overall flexible but locally rigid characteristics, we proposed a strategy of constructing chemical networks of bacterial cellulose (BC ... and different levels ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) from G. xylinum is produced as a porous nanofibrillar structure consisting of fibrils with diameters of less than 100 nm. The 'pellicles' produced under static culture may ...

Intriguingly, patches made from plant-produced cellulose did not have the same effect. A chemical analysis revealed that the bacterial cellulose contained plant hormones, probably produced by the ...

"This is a method that allows the creation of cellulose matrices with a unique gel-like structure ... synthesised by bacteria," says the PhD student at the KTU Faculty of Chemical Technology ...

Little is known about the fate of PFAS in our environment, but new research finds that bacteria in wastewater ... includes unsaturated PFAS, whose chemical structure makes them easier to break ...

Abstract: In this paper, Rochelle salt (RS) nanoparticles were doped into bacterial cellulose (BC ... RS phase in RS/BC composite films has little effect on the original chemical structure of the ...

Cellulose is the primary component of the cell walls of plants, making it the most common polymer on Earth. It's responsible for the properties of materials like wood and cotton and is the primary ...

The blazer — a one-of-a-kind prototype that is meant as a proof of concept for future collections — is made from bacterial cellulose, and rather than trying to replicate the characteristics of ...

Abstract: In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as carbon source for ... The activated carbons derived from BC were characterized for chemical property, structure and morphology by Fourier ...
