1. Hemicellulose as barrier material
Sammanfattning : Polysaccharides constitute an important source of raw materials for the packaging industry today. Polysaccharides have good natural barrier properties which are necessary for packaging films. Cellulose is the forerunner among renewable polymers for such applications. Hemicelluloses represent a new interesting breed of barrier materials. LÄS MER
2. Engineering and Functionalization of Hemicellulose Hydrogels
Sammanfattning : Hemicellulose is the second most abundant component in wood and is an important renewable resource that is used in films, paper composites and biofuels. Hemicelluloses have several advantages, including their abundance, degradability and renewability. LÄS MER
3. Chemical Pathways to Electrically Conductive Hemicellulose Hydrogels
Sammanfattning : Hydrogels have been extensively explored and are widely used in diverse biomedical applications, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and vehicles for drug delivery. As one type of important natural polymer-based hydrogel, hemicellulose hydrogels have interesting attributes, including being renewable, non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and abundantly available.

4. Ionic liquids in bio-refining : synthesis and applications
Sammanfattning : Fossil fuel resources are not limitless so alternative renewable recourses are needed to fill the void that inevitably will be created once the supplies of this resource start do dwindle. Biomass has the potential to fill this void. LÄS MER
5. Foaming of cellulose derivatives and hemicellulose-containing materials
Sammanfattning : Fossil-based polymeric foams are important materials due to their good mechanical properties relative their low density, the low price and the possibility for large-scale production. They are widely used in cushioning, absorbing and insulation applications. There are however a few disadvantages with these foamed products. LÄS MER
