Plant cell walls are complex structures composed mostly of lignocellulose—the most abundant organic material on Earth—which is a matrix of cross-linked polysaccharide networks, glycosylated proteins, ...

(a) Design and fabrication of the polysaccharide-based nanocomposite membranes; (b) Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of bacterial cellulose nanofiber, showing nanoscale network structure; ...

“Do plant cell walls have a code?” That question, which is somewhat rhetorical, is the title of an article published in the November 1, 2015, issue of Plant Science by a pair of botanists at the ...

The physical properties and behavior of polymers and polysaccharides are strongly based on the properties of their molecules. Molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, molecular structure and ...
