Development of cellulose-based material from wheat straw using a combination of pressurized water and ethanol and high-intensity ultrasound treatments
DownloadFall 2023
The increasing demand for food containers, along with growing petroplastics concerns and Canada's single-use plastic ban, led to an interest in replacing petroplastics with renewable, biodegradable materials like cellulose. Wheat is one of the main cereal crops produced in Canada, and thus, large...

Spring 2016
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), a new breathtaking nanomaterial, is of scientific and commercial interest because of its low density, renewability, biodegradability, non-toxity and wide range of application potential such as personal care, paints, pharmaceuticals, coatings, drilling fluids, etc (1)....

Seed-specific down-regulation of Arabidopsis CELLULOSE SYNTHASE 1 or 9 reduces seed cellulose content and differentially affects carbon partitioning
Download2020-04-20
Jayawardhane, Kethmi N., Singer, Stacy D., Ozga, Jocelyn A., Rizvi, Syed Masood, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Key message Seed-specific down-regulation of AtCESA1 and AtCESA9, which encode cellulose synthase subunits, differentially affects seed storage compound accumulation in Arabidopsis. High amounts of cellulose can negatively affect crop seed quality, and, therefore, diverting carbon partitioning...

Unusual Electronic Properties of Cellulose Nanocrystals Conjugated to Cobalt Phthalocyanine: Long-Lived Charge Separation and Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity
Download2022-09-15
Octacarboxylated cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) was covalently conjugated to cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by employing an esterification protocol. Solid-state NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, and infrared spectra were used to verify and study the nature of covalent attachment...

Spring 2019
Canada has great forest area with tremendous wood-based cellulose resource. However, the research effort for wood fibers to develop wood cellulose-based advanced materials is still limited. The overall objective of this research is to provide some feasible and efficient approaches for the...
