1. New Tools for Analysis of Wood and Pulp Components - Application of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectroscopy and Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
Abstract : In the present thesis, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE),matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight massspectroscopy (MALDI-MS) and size-exclusion chromatography incombination with off-line MALDI-MS (SEC/MALDI-MS) have beenapplied successfully to the analysis of wood and pulpcomponents.The carbohydrate compositions of pulp and holocellulosesamples, as well as of isolated hemicellulose preparations,were determined employing enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequentanalysis of the saccharides released by CZE.

3. Bioplastics from Biomass - Acetylation of Xylans with Green Chemistry
Abstract : There is social, environmental and increasing economic pressure on the industrial sector to substitute non-renewable resources with renewable ones as the increasing World population is exponentially depleting the fossil fuel supplies of the Earth. Each year about 260 million tons of plastics are produced from crude oil and most of it ends up as waste. READ MORE

4. 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
