Chalmers Reproservice Göteborg, Sweden 2011 ii To my beautiful children, Aleksandra and Filip iii iv Interactions between Wood Polymers in Wood Cell Walls and Cellulose/Hemicellulose Biocomposites JASNA STEVANIC SRNDOVIC Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Chalmers University of Technology Göteborg, Sweden INNVENTIA AB Fibre and Material Science Business area Biorefining Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT A wood fibre is a complex multi component biocomposite that is hierarchically organised. The arrangement of a wood fibre on the ultrastructural level is highly controlled by the interactions between the main structural polymers, i.e. cellulose, various hemicelluloses and lignin, as well as in some parts also pectin and protein. This further determines the mechanical and physical properties of the wood material, and consequently its targeted applications. Despite considerable research in this field during a number of years, the current knowledge on the interactions between the wood polymers is still incomplete and needs improvement. Also, mimicking of natural structures is an inspiration when preparing new materials from renewable resources, hence a comprehensive understanding of the polymer interactions is required. The first part of this study was to improve the understanding on the molecular interactions within the primary cell wall of spruce wood fibres, and its importance for the energy demand for the refining process during the thermomechanical pulp (TMP) manufacturing. Dynamic FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy in combination with dynamic 2D (two-dimensional) FTIR spectroscopy was used to examine how the lignin, protein, pectin, xyloglucan and cellulose interact in an enriched primary cell wall material. Measurements indicated that strong interactions exist between lignin, protein and pectin, as well as between cellulose, xyloglucan and pectin in this particular layer. Further, by applying a low degree of sulphonation pre-treatment to spruce wood chips, it was shown that the desired ultrastructural changes in the sulphonated primary cell wall material were reached. This selective reaction caused a weakening of the interactions between lignin;pectin, lignin;protein and pectin;protein, v as well as an increased softening and swelling of the material, which were the reasons for the noted energy savings when refining such low sulphonated spruce wood chips. The second part of this study was to improve the current knowledge on the molecular interaction within the secondary cell wall of a spruce wood fibre, as well as its ultrastructure by studying the orientation of the cellulose, glucomannan, xylan and lignin. Imaging FTIR microscopy was a technique used for studying, which indicated a parallel orientation of polysaccharides with respect to each other and the fibre axis and a partial parallel orientation of lignin. It was suggested that the interactions between the cellulose and glucomannan and the xylan and lignin are dominant but also that interactions between the two hemicelluloses, i.e. glucomannan and xylan, exist. The third part of this study was to prepare biomimetic biocomposite films, based on cellulose reinforced hemicelluloses. The interactions between these polysaccharides were studied through the prior examined mechanical properties of the biocomposite films using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Here, the understanding of the ultrastructural organisation of the primary and secondary cell walls has been taken as a basis. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding might be created between the cellulose molecules and the unsubstituted areas of the backbone of the hemicellulose molecules, where the lower degree of substitution of xylan results in a more frequent occurrence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This study contributes to an increased understanding between interactions of wood polymers in the primary and secondary cell walls of a softwood tracheid and may serve as a guide for the new generation of biomimetic biocomposites.

The potential uses of these bio-based polymers are varied, from household goods to high end and advanced applications. To some extent, they can solve the depletion and sustainability issues of conventional polymers. As such, this article reviews the trends and developments of bio-based polymers for the preparation of polymer electrolytes that are intended for use in electrochemical device applications.

    7 | Carbohydrates and Glycobiology Aldoses and Ketoses; Representative monosaccharides. (a)Two trioses, an aldose and a ketose. The carbonyl group in each is shaded. • An aldose contains an aldehyde functionality • A ketose contains a ketone functionality The Glycosidic Bond • Two sugar molecules can be joined via a glycosidic bond between an anomeric carbon and a hydroxyl carbon • The glycosidic bond (an acetal) between monomers is less reactive than the hemiacetal at the second monomer – Second monomer, with the hemiacetal, is reducing – Anomeric carbon involved in the glycosidic linkage is nonreducing • The disaccharide formed upon condensation of two glucose molecules via 1 4 bond is called maltose • Formation of maltose. A disaccharide is formed from two monosaccharides (here, two molecules of D-glucose) when an —OH (alcohol) of one glucose molecule (right) condenses with the intramolecular hemiacetal of the other glucose molecule (left), with elimination of H2O and formation of a glycosidic bond. The reversal of this reaction is hydrolysis—attack by H2O on the glycosidic bond. The maltose molecule, shown here as an illustration, retains a reducing hemiacetal at the C-1 not involved in the glycosidic bond. Because mutarotation interconverts the α and β forms of the hemiacetal, the bonds at this position are sometimes depicted with wavy lines, as shown here, to indicate that the structure may be either α or β. Nonreducing Disaccharides • Two sugar molecules can be also joined via a glycosidic bond between two anomeric carbons • The product has two acetal groups and no hemiacetals • There are no reducing ends, this is a nonreducing sugar • Trehalose is a constituent of hemolymph of insects • Two common disaccharides.

Raffinose is a trisaccharide that is made of three monosaccharides ( sugar residues) . If you look at structure first one is galactose then glucose and then fructose . from left to right It is Found in beans and vegetables like cabbage, Brussels, sprouts, broccoli, asparagus . And we can't digest raffinose because of Humans lack the Alpha-galactosidase enzyme that is needed to break down raffinose, but intestinal bacteria can ferment it into hydrogen, methane, and other gases but It is not as bad as lactose intolerance. Look at these monosaccharides and how are connected to each other as a practice whenever you see something like this look at each residue and try to identify it is it glucose, galactose and so on identify the anomeric configuration identify the glycosidic linkage between these different subunits Type of glycosidic bond between galactose and glucose [α: 16 ] Type of glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose [β: 12] 1 | P a g e We have oligosaccharide that can be larger and oligosaccharide that can be modified in certain ways so we can use them as antibiotics Oligosaccharides as drugs Streptomycin and erythromycin anticancer agents Doxorubicin Digoxin cardiovascular drug.

We also learnt how nature of the glycosidic bonds affects the properties of the oligosaccharides and their digestion by enzymes in human body. In this unit, we shall discuss about polysaccharides. Most of the carbohydrates in nature are polysaccharides. Some of them are simply polymers of monosaccharides like starch, glycogen and cellulose while others in addition to being polymeric saccharides are also linked covalently to other biomolecules like amino acids, peptides, proteins and lipids. These show not only structural diversity but also perform diverse functions. Let us now look at these aspects by studying different examples of polysaccharides.
