| Course description |
|
“Cellulose Science and its Utilization” This lecture targets on the woody biomass, especially cellulosic materials, one of the main constituents of wood. The distribution and quantitative estimation of woody biomass on the earth will be shown and the characteristics of their chemical structures will be explained. The chemical structure of cellulose molecule, its functions, the biodegradation mechanism and some industrial applications will be also presented. Furthermore, chemically modified cellulose, such as cellulose derivatives and oxidized cellulose, will be also introduced. |
