Friction and forces between cellulose model surfaces: A comparison

Wettability and surface composition of partly and fully regenerated cellulose thin films from trimethylsilyl cellulose

“…Examples of investigations are the preparation, surface morphology, crystallinity, thickness or wettability of these films [3][4][5]. Besides cellulose model surfaces in their native crystalline form, regenerated model films from a variety of cellulose solutions are known and have been, characterized and utilized [6][7][8][9][10]. Additionally, cellulose derivatives like trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC), which is soluble in organic solvents, have been used in various studies as a starting material for film preparation and characterization [11].…”

Synthesis of a novel antimicrobial-modified starch and its adsorption on cellulose fibers: part II––adsorption behaviors of cationic starch on cellulose fibers

“…Although surface force measurements with AFM are extensively reported in the literature, few reports on the relationship between quantitative surface interaction and adsorption capacity of cationic starch on cellulose fibers are available. Stiernstedt et al (2006), Zauscher and Klingenberg (2000), and Radtchenko et al (2005) studied forces between cellulose and silica surfaces. They found that attraction forces between those negative charged surfaces were mainly of nonelectrostatic forces, probably originating from hydrogen bonds and polymer bridging.…”

Nanoscience and nanotechnologies for biobased materials, packaging and food applications: New opportunities and concerns

“…At higher concentrations, the connection by one chain of two surfaces cannot be achieved. The upper phase is removed during the washout, demonstrating the dual adhesive and antiadhesive capacities of XG that have been investigated via in vivo and in vitro studies (Stiernstedt, Nordgren et al 2006;Winter, Cerclier et al 2010;Cosgrove 2014). …”

“…Sap transport and cavitation resistances are linked to nanoscale vessel architecture and the size of the torus present in the pits (Cochard 2006;Lens, Tixier et al 2013). Nanostructured surfaces of biopolymers thus provide simple, dense and anisotropic systems that can be used as tunable models of the interface and surface to mimic naturally-existing materials and investigate both fundamental hypotheses of plant cell wall biology such enzymatic degradation processes (Josefsson, Henriksson et al 2007;Ahola, Turon et al 2008;Cerclier, Guyomard-Lack et al 2013) or polymer interactions (Holmberg, Berg et al 1997;Stiernstedt, Nordgren et al 2006;Winter, Cerclier et al 2010;Villares, Moreau et al 2015). Nanostructured surfaces also serve to investigate complex industrial processes such as pulp production or paper coatings through a simplified approach.…”
