MODIFICATION OF POLYSACCHARIDE SURFACES AND INTERFACES
Cell walls in woody plants represent a complex composite structure comprised of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. The role of the hemicelluloses appears to be one of an interfacial modifier, bridging incompatible crystalline cellulose-rich domains and amorphous lignin-rich domains. This natural composite has superior fracture properties compared to synthetic wood-plastic composites. As such, biomimetic composites inspired by the cell wall have attracted increasing attention; however, the desirable composite properties of cell walls for structural applications are a hindrance for the isolation of celluloses and hemicelluloses from biomass for subsequent bioconversion to fuels.
