Chemical engineers have discovered a small molecule that behaves the same as cellulose when it is converted to biofuel. Studying this "mini-cellulose" molecule reveals for the first time the ...

The direct transformation of cellulose, which is the main component of lignocellulosic biomass, into building-block chemicals is the key to establishing biomass-based sustainable chemical processes.

Because of this chemistry, he says cellulose derivatives could affect the speeds and outcomes of many chemical transformations. Chemical & Engineering News. ISSN 0009-2347.

Gulf Oil Chemicals had a project for the conversion of cellulose to chemicals in 1975 under the direction of George Emert. Before that it was funding research at Virginia Tech under Ross Brown to ...

Cellulotech, a pioneering company in green chemistry and sustainable material innovation, is proud to announce the successful ...

The efficient use of cellulose—the primary plant scaffold and a major natural building block—could address many issues associated with petroleum-based polymers across various industries. In the search ...

The Cellulose Chemistry research group, lead by Dr. Alistair King, concerns the development of techniques for tuning the reactivity of bulk cellulose and at the surface, with applications in textiles, ...

The British Cellulose and Chemical Manufacturing Company along with a similar operation in the United States was set up by Camille Dreyfus to manufacture lacquer for aircraft wings.
