Hardwood kraft lignin bears intrinsic variation due to wood species and the isolation process. The structure and property variation of hardwood kraft lignin could introduce new challenges and opportunities for its application. To better understand such variation, seven kraft lignin samples, originated from southern mixed hardwood (North America), northern mixed hardwood (North America), and Asian mixed hardwood, were isolated from commercial kraft pulping black liquor using both LignoBoost and LignoForce processes. Modern analytical techniques were used to elucidate the characteristics of mixed hardwood kraft lignins, including chemical composition, molecular weight, functional groups, and thermal properties. All lignin samples had a lignin content over 90% (92% to 96%) with one exception, which was northern mixed hardwood kraft lignin with 86% of lignin content and 6% polysaccharides. The elemental and methoxy analyses revealed the expected variation of hardwood kraft lignins with the methoxy content ranging from 0.85 to 1.20 per C9 unit. The weight average molecular weight exhibited a higher variation (from 4800 to 1895 Da) with a descending order of southern mixed hardwood kraft lignins, northern mixed hardwood lignins, and Asian mixed hardwood lignins. The aliphatic hydroxy groups ranged from 14 to 25 per 100 C9 units, and phenolic hydroxy groups ranged from 65 to 112 per 100 C9 units. The catecholic group content ranged from 12 to 34 per 100 C9 units, which is higher than softwood kraft lignin. The lignins isolated from the rapid displacement heating (RDH) pulping process were more condensed than from the regular kraft pulping process. 2D HSQC and quantitative 13C NMR revealed the drastic structure change upon kraft pulp with the low abundance of native lignin linkages and formation of new interunit linkages, such as stilbene, enol ethers, and 1-1’/5’. The S/G ratio was calculated using 2D HSQC spectra correcting for signal shift caused by the catecholic groups.Keywords: Mixed hardwoodkraft ligninchemical structurevariation Authors’ contributionsXiao Jiang and Runkun Sun contributed equally to this work.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors greatly appreciate the financial support from Domtar and Chung Hua Paper Company for this research project.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135592776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the concerns about formaldehyde toxicity, there is a need to develop formaldehyde-free adhesive materials. Therefore, the present study aimed to minimize or eliminate the harmful effects of UF resin by using recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from post-consumed fruit packing boxes as a nontoxic adhesive. Three-layer plywood panels using poplar veneers and recycled HDPE films were prepared. UF was used as a control adhesive for the comparison. The influence of three variable parameters in terms of HDPE content (from 80 to 320 g/m2), hot-pressing temperature (from 140 to 180 °C), and pressing duration (from 3 to 8 min) on the properties of plywood panels were evaluated. For evaluation, physical properties, namely water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), and mechanical properties, namely modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and glue-line shear strength of the samples, were studied. The findings of this work confirmed that HDPE films gave the values of mechanical properties of plywood panels comparable to those obtained with UF adhesive, even though the adhesive content and pressing time were lower than when the UF adhesive was used. The obtained bonding strength values of HDPE-bonded plywood panels ranged from 0.82 to 1.60 MPa and met the requirement for the European Standard EN 314-2. According to FE-SEM micrographs, the fractured surface of plywood panels with 240 g/m2 of HDPE displayed a homogeneous cross-section area, and a large amount of HDPE was attached to the veneer surfaces. It was found that the average mechanical properties tended to increase with an increase in the pressing temperature and time. The type of adhesive had a significant effect on WA and TS. The smallest values of WA and TS were observed in plywood samples using high contents of HDPE films (240 and 320 g/m2). The optimum conditions were an HDPE loading of 240 g/m2, a hot-pressing temperature of 160 °C, and a hot-pressing time of 5 min. The overall results showed that recycled HDPE had enough potential to reuse as a promising adhesive for the environmentally-friendly plywood manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"298 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48728882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obtained silica NPs modified NFC (SiO2 NPs-mNFC) was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM and EDX analysis, and its metronidazole drug delivery properties were studied. However bare NFC showed higher loading of metronidazole than SiO2 NPs-mNFC, but NFC showed faster release of metronidazole than SiO2 NPs-mNFC. Release of metronidazole from NFC is not pH dependent, as 92.2% and 85.4% cumulative release percentage of metronidazole was released until 7.5 h, at both pH values of 4.5 and 7.4, respectively. However, SiO2 NPs-mNFC released the metronidazole very slowly, and was also pH sensitive, as cumulative release percentage of metronidazole were measured to be 53.3% at pH = 4.5, and 19.6% at pH = 7.4 after 48 h. Kinetic of the metronidazole release from SiO2 NPs-mNFC was studied by fitting the experimental data with well-known kinetic models, such as First order, Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, Hixson-Corwell and Baker-Lonsdale models. Results revealed that the metronidazole release is well fitted with Hixson–Crowell models at both pH values, confirming that the change in surface area of SiO2 NPs-mNFC during the process of dissolution has a significant effect on metronidazole release. Fickian diffusion of metronidazole at both pH was concluded by calculating n values of 0.3438 at pH = 7.4 and 0.4224 at pH = 4.5 by nonlinear fitting the release experimental data using Korsmeyer-Peppas model.","PeriodicalId":17493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"289 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46813184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
