The structure of the catalytic domain of a plant cellulose synthase and its assembly into dimers. Anna T. Olek 1; Catherine Rayon 1*; Lee Makowski 2, 3; Hyung Rae Kim 4; Peter Ciesielski 5; John ...

Cellulose diacetate (CDA) corresponding to an average of two acetate esters per cellulose monomer unit is the grade with the highest commercial relevence and is therefore commonly referred to as ...

The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. But cellulose, the most abundant renewable polymer on the planet, is extremely recalcitrant to ...

Wood is not just cellulose and lignin even though they are major components. There is sugar and other stuff in wood that makes it unique. The cell structure of growth rings, knots, etc can not be ...

That's right: There's wood pulp in your cheese. Scandalous, huh? Well, not really. Not only has cellulose been a safe, FDA-approved food additive since 1973, it's also a component of the plant ...

Many processed foods contain cellulose, which is plant fiber that is commonly extracted from wood. It's used to add texture, prevent caking and boost fiber. And it's been around for ages.

We report a simple method to produce a hydrophobic surface created by continual vapor-phase-assisted surface photopolymerization (photo-VASP) of 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylmethacrylate (FMA ...

There's good news and bad news about the revelation that a supposed 100-percent Parmesan cheese was adulterated with cellulose—a filler often made from wood pulp. First the good: Eating ...

Chemically Recyclable Unnatural (1→6)-Polysaccharides from Cellulose-Derived Levoglucosenone and Dihydrolevoglucosenone. ACS Macro Letters , 2024; 252 DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.3c00720 Cite This ...

Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on Earth, and its outstanding qualities as biodegradable nature make it a perfect substitute for petroleum-based polymers. A challenge in the ...

Modifying each monomer’s chemical side-chains between cycles adds complexity, and a semi-automated system can make the process less laborious. Johnson is now studying how his sequence-controlled ...
