Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and the use of TiO2 nanoparticles to open up the cellulose structure

Abushammala, Hatem; Hashaikeh, R (Pergamon, 2011-10)

A major barrier in the process of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis into glucose for biofuel production is the enzyme accessibility to cellulose. In this study, a new cellulose regeneration strategy is developed to address ...
Microcrystalline cellulose powder tableting via networked cellulose-based gel material

Abushammala, Hatem; Hashaikeh, R; Cooney, C (Elsevier, 2012-02)

Networked cellulosic (NC) gel material was prepared via 70% sulfuric acid dissolution and hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) followed by regeneration in cold ethanol. The material was utilized as a multifunctional ...
