2. 1. Synthesis of AcGGM Polysaccharide Hydrogels

   Author : Laleh Maleki; Ulrica Edlund; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hemicellulose; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; wood hydrolysate; hydrogel; radical polymerization; interpenetrating polymer network; click chemistry; thiol-ene; Michael addition; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is believed to serve a prominent role in tomorrow’s sustainable energy and material development. Among the polysaccharide fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, the potential of hemicelluloses as a valuable material resource is increasingly recognized. READ MORE

4. 2. Engineering and Functionalization of Hemicellulose Hydrogels

   Author : Weifeng Zhao; Karin Odelius; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Tina Vermonden; KTH; []
   Keywords : Hemicellulose; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; hydrogels; stimuli-responsive; aniline tetramer; aniline pentamer; electro-active; conductivity; pH-sensitivity; magnetic field-responsive; micro-gels; swelling; drug delivery.; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

5. 3. Isolation, characterization and enzymatic hydrolysis of water-soluble wood polysaccharides

   Author : Jon Lundqvist; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; size exclusion chromatography; beta-mannosidase; beta-mannanase; endoglucanase; ethyl hydoxyethyl cellulose; metabolism; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Metabolism; microwave irradiation; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; isolation;

   Abstract : The need for new renewable products has enhanced the interest in cellulose and hemicellulose as raw material. The wood plant cell wall is a complex mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and minor amounts of pectin, proteins and extractives. Several interactions between the compounds make them difficult to separate without modification. READ MORE

6. 4. Hemicellulose as barrier material

   Author : Hartman Jonas; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Gunnar Henriksson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hemicellulose; galactoglucomannan; plasma surface treatment; vaporphase grafting; benzylation; contact angle; oxygen permeability; solution casting; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

7. 5. Chemical Pathways to Electrically Conductive Hemicellulose Hydrogels

   Author : Weifeng Zhao; Ann-Chiristine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Karin Odelius; Elisabet Brännvall; Peter Plikk; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrically conductive; hemicellulose; hydrogels; swelling behavior; aniline oligomers; renewable; polymer synthesis; Elektriskt ledande; hemicellulosa; hydrogel; svällning; anilinoligomerer; förnyelsebar; polymersyntes; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : 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.
