1. Investigating structural changes of cellulose using NMR spectroscopy
Abstract : In this thesis solid-state NMR and NMR cryoporometry were used to gain information of the structure of cellulose. Measurements were conducted on both native and regenerated cellulose, exposed to a range of different treatments. READ MORE

2. Characterization of cellulose in post-consumer cotton textiles
Abstract : The overall objective of this thesis is to provide a background to the recycling of cotton. Since cotton consists of pure cellulose, it might be possible to include used cotton, in the already existing viscose industry. READ MORE

3. Investigating cellulose structure using solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer in nature and it is an important constituent in most flowers, trees, and even some animals. Cellulose has an established use in many important products, such as textile fibers, paper and paperboard, and recently new applications have received increased attention. READ MORE

4. Adsorption of xylans on cellulosic fibres -Influence of xylan composition on adsorption characteristics and kraft pulp properties
Abstract : Xylans are polysaccharides present in large amounts in cell walls of vascular plants. They possess an inherent affinity to cellulose and will thus adsorb irreversibly on cellulose surfaces. READ MORE

5. Improving cellulose fibre properties by controlled adsorption of xylans
Abstract : Hemicelluloses are, together with cellulose and pectins, the polysaccharide constituents in the cell walls of higher plants. Xylans are the most common hemicelluloses, and are considered to be the second most abundant biopolymer in the plant kingdom. READ MORE
