Enhanced enzymatic saccharification of corn stover via topochemical treatment

Hydrotropic pretreatment using sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) could remove lignin and xylan from corn stover to enhance enzymatic saccharification. Peracetic acid (PAA) treatment prior to the hydrotropic process [so-called modified hydrotropic pretreatment...

Hybrid clay functionalized biofibres for composite applications

Micro-injection moulded composites of softwood fibres from two different pulping processes in thermoplastic polypropylene matrix have been studied. Surface modification of hydrogen peroxide bleached thermo mechanical pulp fibres (BTMP) from spruce (Picea...
