The Structure of Cellulose by Conformational Analysis.
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: A. Pizzi --- , N. Eaton --- ,Conformational analysis studies on the tertiary structure of cellobiose and methyl-β-cellobioside were carried out by using calculations of Van der Waals, H-bond, electrostatic and torsional energy interactions between the atoms and groups of the molecules. Energy maps in function of... -
The Structure of Cellulose by Conformational Analysis.
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: A. Pizzi --- Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, South Africa N. Eaton --- Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, South AfricaThe Meyer/Misch and related models were found to be the most energetically stable for the crystalline structure of cellulose I. The cellobioside structure is the monomer of cellulose I as structures having cellobiose as monomer have been proven to be... -

Use of hydrogels in the planting of industrial wood plantations
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Jacob W Crous --- Sappi Forests, South AfricaThe quantity of available water in soil is crucial for plant growth, especially after transplanting as this water will enable the growth of new roots to facilitate nutrient and water uptake. Water absorbed by a hydrogel (superabsorbent polymer) has the... -
Investigation of the properties and production of sawdust ceiling tile using polystyrene as a binder
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development • Authors: Pius Bamidele Mogaji --- Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nigeria Sesan Peter Ayodeji --- Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nigeria Ayodeji David Olatise --- Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nigeria Isiaka Oluwole Oladele --- Department of Material and Metallurgical Engineering, NigeriaIn this research, a production and properties investigation of wood sawdust ceiling tile using polystyrene as a binder was carried out. The content by weight of the wood sawdust was 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% consisting of three...
