    Abstract : The climate change on our planet is an issue of great concern. The dignity of this issue was confirmed by the award of the international panel of climate change (IPCC) the Nobel peace prize. This problem arises from the way that we live our lives, how we produce energy, materials and chemicals from a fossil source. READ MORE

  4. 2. Assembly characteristics of xylan rich extracts from birch

    Author : Peter Westbye; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Xylan; Cellulose fibres; Adsorption; glucuronoxylan; Extraction; Aggregates; Solution properties;

    Abstract : The greenhouse effect is one of the most important environmental problems that mankind has to solve. One solution could be the utilization of biomass to create new materials and fuels. Traditionally wood has been used as timber and as a raw material for pulp and paper production. READ MORE

    Abstract : The hemicellulose glucuronoxylan (GX) is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose in the secondary cell walls of angiosperms and contributes significantly to the properties of wood as raw materials. Despite this, very little is known about the biosynthesis of hemicellulose. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of Molecular Architecture of Xylans on Material Properties

    Author : Maria Gröndahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    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
