Suberin, an aliphatic-aromatic cross-linked natural polymer present in the outer tissues of
numerous vegetable species, is discussed in terms of (i) its occurrence, particularly where it …

… His PhD and followed post-doctoral studies were completed with the supervision of
Professor Evtuguin and Professor Pascoal Neto. Subsequently, industrial experience was …

Introduction: Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an extremely pure form of cellulose, which, due to its
unique properties, such as high purity, water-holding capacity, three-dimensional …

The burgeoning surge of research on polymers from renewable resources1 is a direct
reflection of the growing concern about the dwindling of fossilized organic reserves, ie, the …

Cellulose/Ag nanocomposites were prepared using two distinct methodologies and two
cellulose substrates: vegetable and bacterial cellulose. These nanocomposites were …

Results of a comprehensive study on the chemical structure of lignin from plantation Eucalyptus
globulus Labill are presented. Lignin has been isolated by a modified mild acidolysis …

New nanocomposite films based on different chitosan matrices (two chitosans with different
DPs and one water soluble derivative) and bacterial cellulose were prepared by a fully green …

Bacterial cellulose (BC), a very peculiar form of cellulose, is gaining considerable importance
due to its unique properties. In this study, several residues, from agro-forestry industries, …

This paper reports the preparation and characterization of nanocomposite films based on
different chitosan matrices and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) for the purpose of improving …

Bacterial cellulose, produced by Acetobacter Xylinum, was used as reinforcement in composite
materials with a starch thermoplastic matrix. The composites were prepared in a single …
