Interfacial Polyelectrolyte Complex Spinning of Cellulose Nanofibrils for Advanced Bicomponent Fibers

Cellulose fibers and nanofibrils for adhesive reinforcement

Introduction In wood industry, adhesive bonding is one of the key process steps. To ensure continuing technological progress in wood industry it is necessary to explore new possibilities of improvement in adhesive bonding. The potential routes for performance improvements suggested by a state of the art report issued by COST Action E13 Wood Adhesion and Glued Products (Dunky et al. 2002) focus ...

Spinning of Cellulose Nanofibrils into Filaments: A Review

Spinning of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) offers promising opportunities to develop renewable fibers and filaments with strong, aligned structure. This review introduces recent findings on the relationship between the properties of CNF hydrogels, the spinning conditions and the performance of filaments obtained by dryand wet-spinning. For example, the filament Young’s modulus correlates with CNF ...

Continuous filaments of negatively charged cellulose nanofibrils and polyelectrolytes by interfacial complexation

Integrated Production of Cellulose Nanofibrils and Cellulosic Biofuel by Enzymatic Hydrolysis of wood Fibers

One key barrier to converting woody biomass to biofuel through the sugar platform is the low efficiency of enzymatic cellulose saccharification due to the strong recalcitrance of the crystalline cellulose. Significant past research efforts in cellulosic biofuels have focused on overcoming the recalcitrance of lignocelluloses to enhance the saccharification of the recalcitrant cellulose. However...
