| Course description |
| Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are main components and play important roles in the wooden cell wall. This course will introduce how plants macromolecules are synthesized following deposited in the cell wall, and expresses the special function. Additionally, I also talk about structural variability of cellulose microfibrils and its analytical methods. |
| Expected Learning |
|
The aim of this course is to help students acquire the understanding of morphology, structure, formation and degradation of plants macromolecules. In addition, study the methods for analyzing these mechanism. |
| Course schedule |
|
Hierarchical structure of wood biomass Cellulose crystalline structure and its distribution in nature Cellulose biosynthesis and biodegradation Chemical structure and its variability for hemicellulose and lignin Deposition mechanism for hemicellulose Accumulation mechanism for lignin Transmission electron microscopic observation Spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis Crystalline structural analysis based on X-ray or electron diffraction |
