The surface morphologies, size distributions, and chemical structures of the CNFs and their microfibers were investigated in detail. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis showed that all kinds of CNFs had uniform diameters of less than 10 nm. However, the length and aspect ratio of CNFs exhibited significant differences due to the differences of anatomical characteristics from pulp species. Among these six nanofibers, the pineapple leaf-based nanofibers had the highest length of ca. 2.21 μm and aspect ratio of ca. 1263. Meanwhile, the resulting pineapple leaf-based nanocellulose film possessed the strongest tensile strength (229.0 ± 9.8 MPa) and toughness (33.9 ± 2.9 MJ/m<sup>3</sup>). Interestingly, the aspect ratio of cotton nanofibers was only 556, lower than that of bamboo, Nordic pine, and flax nanofibers, but the tensile strength (210.6 ± 4.8 MPa) and toughness (22.4 ± 0.6 MJ/m<sup>3</sup>) of cotton-based nanocellulose film were second only to the pineapple leaf-based nanocellulose film. The critical reason is that the cotton-based nanocellulose exhibited the highest crystallinity index (76.6%), superior to the other source-based nanocellulose. These results suggested that the high aspect ratio or high crystallinity are responsible for the excellent mechanical strengths of the nanocellulose film. This work sheds light on the preparation and selection of highly spindly or crystalline nonwood nanofibrils, suggesting that the pineapple leaf or cotton nanofibers have great potential as strength additives for nanocomposites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To acquire CTs with a low DP, the depolymerization of bayberry tannins (BTs) through a novel approach utilizing UV light-driven photocatalytic degradation, facilitated by the ultrasonic dispersion of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles was investigated. Under the optimal degradation conditions (a tannin concentration of 6%, a TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles loading amount of 0.20%, and a degradation time of 4 h), the study delineated a discernible linear relationship correlating both the degradation time with the formaldehyde reactivity of the photocatalytic degradation products, and the formaldehyde reactivity with the mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of these photocatalytic degradation products. With the establishment of these correlative relationships, it is feasible to systematically control the degradation process of BTs. The photocatalytic degradation process adhered to the following mechanism: The degradation process of BTs is initiated by the cleavage of the C4-C8 bond which, at the incipient stage of degradation, results in the elimination of one gallocatechin gallate unit and one gallocatechin unit, or alternatively, the removal of a gallocatechin dimer. During the advanced stages of degradation, the opening of the C ring gives rise to different derivatives. Upon establishing optimal degradation parameters, it was observed that the primary constituents of the photocatalytic degradation products were dimers. The utilization of photocatalytic degradation exhibited an ability to break down condensed tannins in a manner that is both controllable and in an environmentally friendly way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 chemical and structural variability of lignin, it is necessary to isolate specific lignin fractions from black liquor with the purpose to achieve samples with unique chemical and structural characteristics and therefore, specific biological activities. In this study, poplar lignin fractions isolated from Kraft black liquor by sequential acid precipitation at pH´s 7.5, 5 and 2.5 (denoted as P-7.5, P-5 and P-2.5) were characterized according to their physicochemical, antioxidant and antibacterial properties. In general, lignin fractions displayed a wide elimination of lateral chains (aryl-β ether and C–C) and, therefore a high phenolic content and low molecular weight, as the pH sequential precipitation was decreased from 7.5 to 2.5. Moreover, thermal analysis revealed that the P-7.5 lignin fraction showed higher thermal stability than P-2.5 and P-5. In terms of antioxidant activity, the P-7.5 lignin fraction, with a higher S/G ratio and a less oxidized structure compared to P-5 and P-2.5, exhibited higher antioxidant activity. In addition, lower antibacterial effect was observed for all lignin fractions against <i>Escherichia coli</i> compared to that obtained against <i>Staphylococcus aureus.</i> Among them, the P-2.5 and P-5 fractions, with higher phenolic content and lower molecular weight values than P-7.5, showed a greater antibacterial effect against <i>S. aureus</i>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00226-024-01612-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural wood possesses a hierarchical and three-dimensional (3D) interconnected microstructure, making it a desirable material for water treatment. However, limited water transport pathways can reduce the efficiency of removing high-concentration organic dyes. To address this, we present a low-cost, scalable, and efficient cross-flow Ag/wood composite filter by combing the structural design and hydrothermal treatment using a silver-ammonia solution. Silver ions (Ag<sup>+</sup>) are effectively reduced to silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by wood lignin and then anchored by hydroxyl groups in the cellulose and hemicellulose of the wood. Importantly, the incorporation of Ag NPs does not compromise the 3D porous structure of the wood. Diagonal grooves and exposed channels on both sides of the filter guide pollutants, ensuring extensive interaction with Ag NPs along elongated reaction pathways and through microstructural vessel disturbances. An 8 mm-thick cross-flow Ag/wood composite filter, featuring grooves with a diameter of 15 mm and a depth of 4 mm, achieves a remarkable 99% degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) at a water flux of up to 1775 L/(m<sup>2</sup>∙h). The performance in water flux and decolorization efficiency hinges significantly on groove diameter, groove depth, and filter thickness. This cross-flow Ag/wood composite filter represents a promising advancement for rapid and effective removal of various organic pollutants in a single-step process, showcasing extensive potential for applications in water treatment.
