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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to… ...

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 ...

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 ...
