    In vitro synthesis of linear α-1,3-glucan and chemical modification to ester derivatives exhibiting outstanding thermal properties

    Bio-based polymer is considered as one of potentially renewable materials to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources. We report herein on the one-pot synthesis and development of unnatural-type bio-based...

    Effect of acetylation site on orientation birefringence of cellulose triacetate

    The effect of a substitution site on orientation birefringence for cellulose triacetate (CTA) was investigated by the addition of xylan ester. Since CTA has three substitution sites (C-2, C-3, and C-6) while x...
