  1. 1. Tailoring Cellulose Nanofibrils for Advanced Materials

    Författare :Núria Butchosa Robles; Qi Zhou; Kristiina Oksman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanofibrils; bacterial cellulose; surface modification; carboxymethyl cellulose; polyethylene glycol; chitin nanocrystals; bactericidal activity; nanofibrils orientation; water redispersability; mechanical properties; dye removal; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are nanoscale fibers of high aspect ratio that can be isolated from a wide variety of cellulosic sources, including wood and bacterial cellulose. With high strength despite of their low density, CNFs are a promising renewable building block for the preparation of nanostructured materials and composites. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Modulating the structure-function relationship of mucin materials

    Författare :Kun Jiang; Thomas Crouzier; Qi Zhou; Mark Tibbitt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Mucus covers the epithelium surfaces playing a key role in the barrier, hydration, lubrication and bioactivity functions for the human body, and mucins are the fundamental components of mucus which provide such functions. However, many details in how these functions are related to the many structural features of mucins are still unknown. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases for green production of cellulose nanomaterials

    Författare :Salla Koskela; Qi Zhou; Markus Linder; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; enzyme; CNC; CNF; LPMO; nanocellulose; wood; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cellulose is the main structural polymer in wood, and its potential in the form of nanomaterial building blocks, nanocelluloses, has now been recognized. Nanocelluloses, including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), have become increasingly important in development of modern sustainable materials. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nanopolysaccharides for adsorption of heavy metal ions from water

    Författare :Peng Liu; Qi Zhou; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Sammanfattning : With population expansion and industrialization, heavy metal has become one of the biggest and most toxic water pollutants, which is a serious problem for human society today. The aim of this work is to explore the potential of nanopolysaccharides including nanocellulose and nanochitin to remove metal ions from contaminated water. LÄS MER
