Cellulose is an important polysaccharide, which is the material of plant cell support material. Cellulose, as a biodegradable and green material, comes from a wide range of sources. Herbaceous and woody plants provide a green and stable source of raw materials for cellulose production. It has many applications, whether in traditional industries such as wood, paper, medical biomaterials, or plant-based charcoal materials.
CD BioSciences is committed to providing professional, comprehensive, and advanced biophysical analytical techniques to characterize the structure of plant cellulose, thereby opening up more possibilities for future cellulose research and applications.
Applications in Cellulose Research
CD BioSciences is deeply engaged in biophysics, has built a comprehensive biophysical analysis platform, committed to contributing to the research of plant science. We will bring the most accurate and sensitive technology to our clients to advance the research process.
Extraction of Cellulose
We offer biophysical technologies such as ultrasonic treatment, microwave-assisted extraction, and high-pressure homogenization to effectively extract cellulose from plants with no or fewer chemicals. In addition, our techniques disrupt plant cell walls through the action of physical forces, making it easier to release cellulose from plant tissues.
Structural Analysis of Cellulose
We can provide biophysical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for characterizing the structure of cellulose. Information on cellular parameters, crystallinity, and chemical structure of cellulose can be determined from X-ray diffractograms and IR spectrograms. Our AFM technique reveals the fiber diameter, surface roughness, and alignment between fibers, thus revealing the structural characteristics of cellulose. In addition, we can measure the NMR spectra of cellulose samples to obtain the interatomic connections and spatial configurations in the cellulose molecule, thus revealing its molecular structure. This information is critical to understanding the mechanical properties and thermal stability of cellulose.
Cellulose Pyrolysis Products
Cellulose pyrolysis is the process of pyrolyzing biomass in the complete absence or presence of small amounts of oxygen, resulting in the production of liquid and solid products and gases. We provide infrared spectroscopy for studying the chemical structure and functional groups of cellulose pyrolysis products. In addition, we offer nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to further reveal the spatial configuration and connectivity of the molecules in the pyrolysis products. With our thermogravimetric analyzers, we can measure the mass and thermal stability, which in turn provides an important theoretical basis for the application of cellulose pyrolysis products.
