16. Isolation and chemical modification of arabinoxylan and galactoglucomannan
Abstract : Today’s society is based on the use of fossil fuels, where oil is used as transportation fuel and as raw material in the petrochemical industry. Efforts are made to increase the use of bio-based materials, since oil is a non-renewable source and a greenhouse gas contributor. READ MORE

17. Effects of Molecular Architecture of Xylans on Material Properties
Abstract : Xylans are among the most abundant polymers on earth. Nature has created xylans with different molecular structures in different plant species. This molecular architecture is not a coincidence but is tailored to create a particular desirable functionality. READ MORE

18. Extraction and Isolation of Hemicelluloses from Agricultural and Forestry Waste Streams
Abstract : New methods and products must be developed to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, to reduce global warming. In this work, methods of extracting and isolating hemi¬celluloses from agricultural and forestry waste streams have been studied. READ MORE

19. Correlating structure of (arabino)xylans and their derivatives to dispersibility and film properties
Abstract : Wood glucuronoxylans and wheat bran arabinoxylan represent significant sources of underutilized natural polymers. In this work, I aim to address a key challenge to their effective valorization, which is their complex chemical-structure-property relationship. READ MORE

20. Membrane Filtration for Fractionation of Biomass Compounds - Process Design for the Separation of Hemicelluloses and Lignin from Alkaline Solutions
Abstract : It is important to replace fossil resources such as oil, coal and natural gas with renewable raw materials for the production of materials and fuels in order to reduce environmental impact. Furthermore, these raw materials should preferably be residues, e.g. READ MORE
