본 연구에서는 목분입자 크기 및 열처리가 목재 셀룰로오스의 결정 특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 형태학적 특성, 셀룰로오스 결정특성, 화학성분분석을 실시하였다. 목분의 색은 열처리 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 높아짐에 따라, 진한 황색에서 진한 갈색을 보였다. 열처리 목재셀룰로오스의 상대결정화도는 목재?에서 200 mesh로 목재의 입자 크기가 작아질수록 낮은 값을 보였으며, 결정폭의 변화는 거의 없었다. 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$에서 $200^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 목재의 상대결정화도가 증가하였고, 결정 폭의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다. FT-IR분석 결과, 열처리 온도가 높아짐에 따라 -OH 신축에서 피크가 점차 감소한 것을 확인하였다. $1425cm^{-1}$의 리그닌 C-H 굽힘과, $1370cm^{-1}$의 헤미셀룰로오스 C-H 굽힘은 열처리 온도의 증가에 따른 차이를 보기 어려웠다. $1235cm^{-1}$의 OH-phenolic 신축의 특성 피크와 $1031cm^{-1}$ 부근의 탄수화물의 C-C 신축이 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 목재의 입자크기 및 열처리는 목재 셀룰로오스의 결정특성 변화에 영향을 주는 것이 확인되었다.

Multidomain proteins for the biochemical analysis of the scouring efficiency of cotton fabrics were constructed by the fusion of a reporter moiety in the N-terminal and the cellulose binding domain (CBD) in the C-terminal. Based on the specific binding of the CBD of Cellulomonas fimi exoglucanase (Cex) to crystalline cellulose (Avicel), the reporter protein is guided to the cellulose fibers that are increasingly exposed as the scouring process proceeds. Among the tested reporter proteins, a thermostable ${\beta}$-glycosidase (BglA) from Thermus caldophilus was found to be most appropriate, showing a higher applicability and stability than GFP, DsRed2, or a tetrameric ${\beta}$-glycosidase (GUS) from Escherichia coli, which were precipitated more seriously during the expression and purification steps. When cotton fabrics with different scouring levels were treated with the BglA-CBD and incubated with X-Gal as the chromogenic substrate, an indigo color became visible within 2 h, and the color depth changed according to the conditions and extent of the scouring.

Based on the correlation analysis result of preceding research, the biodegradabilities of cellulose fibers were closely related to the moisture regain of the samples, which reflects the hydrophilicity and internal structure of the fibers. In addition to this factor, it was expected that the biodegradation conditions influence the biodegradability of fibers. In this study, widely used cellulose fibers including cotton, rayon, and acetate were used. The biodegradabilities of cellulose fibers were measured by soilburial test, and then the degradation behaviors based on each condition were compared. Moreover, the effects of degradation conditions such as humidity of the soil were investigated. Changes in the internal structure of samples were also observed by X-ray analysis according to the soil burial time. It was shown that humidity of soil facilitated the degradation of cotton, rayon, and acetate fibers, showing higher degradation rate with higher humidity in soil. This effect was shown to be much greater in the fibers of high moisture regain such as cotton and rayon. In respect of microstructure change, crystallinities and their crystal size of fibers decreased remarkably in the soil of higher humidity. It was revealed that degradation of crystalline area was more dependent on the soil humidity than that of amorphous area.

Cellulose-graft-poly (L-lactide) (cellulose-g-PLLA) was successfully prepared via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) by using 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as an organic catalyst in an ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl). The structure and morphology of the polymer was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). From wide-angle X-ray powder diffraction (WAXD) and degradation test (by acid, alkaline, PBS and enzyme solution), changes in the crystalline structure as a result of degradation was also investigated. The results indicated that materials which have low degree of crystallinity showing higher degradability, however, in acid liquor, enzyme solution, alkaline liquor and PBS system, the degradation rate of the polymer decreased by the above sequence. Moreover, with the further increase of graft degree of this material, its degradation degree decreased.

셀룰로오스 아밀로오스 키토산, 키틴, 알긴산, 풀루란 또는 아밀로펙틴을 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시)]펜타노일 클로라이드(NA6C)와 반응시켜 전치환 또는 거의 전치환 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시카보닐)] 펜타노화 다당류 유도체들을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동들을 검토하였다. NA6C의 경우와 같이, 모든 다당류 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 이러한 사실은 다당류 유도체들의 액정 구조는 다당류 골격에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니고 mesogenic 곁사슬 그룹들에 의해 결정됨을 시사한다. 이것이 셀룰로오스 유도체들을 제외한 다당류 유도체들이 열방성 네마틱 상을 형성한다고 하는 최초의 보고이다. 다당류 유도체들에 있어서 관찰되는 네마틱 상들의 열적 안정성과 질서도는 아조벤젠 그룹들을 유연한 스페이서를 통하여 유연한 혹은 강직한 골격들에 도입시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과들과 현저히 다르다. 이들의 결과를 주사슬과 곁사슬의 배열 그리고 주사슬의 유연성의 차이와 관련하에서 검토하였다.

$225^{\circ}C$에서 $325^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 열처리한 셀룰로오스의 물성과 에틸아민 흡착특성을 열처리온도별로 조사하였다. 열처리온도의 증가와 더불어 수율이 감소하고, 탄소함량이 증가하는 반면, 수소나 산소의 함량은 감소하였다. 표면관능기량을 Boehm 법으로 측정한 결과, 열처리온도가 $300^{\circ}C$까지 올라가면 산성관능기량이 증가하였으나 그 이상의 온도에서는 다소 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 염기성관능기는 거의 존재하지 않았으며 열처리온도 $325^{\circ}C$에서 미량 확인할 수 있을 정도였다. 열처리셀룰로오스를 1점법으로 측정한 비표면적은 처리온도가 높으면 다소 증가하는 경향이 있었으나 매우 적었다. 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 셀룰로오스의 에틸아민증기 흡착량이 증가하여 $300^{\circ}C$ 처리 셀룰로오스의 에틸아민흡착에 의한 중량증가가 최대 113%를 나타내었다. $275^{\circ}C$에서 열처리셀룰로오스는 에틸아민 흡착 시, 팽윤이 일어나고 용해현상이 일어났다. $275^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 열처리한 셀룰로오스는 X선회절도 상에서 무정형화 하는 것으로 나타났다. 에틸아민 흡착한 열처리셀룰로오스의 용해 현상은 셀룰로오스의 결정구조 붕괴와 염기성 가스의 흡착량 증가에 의한 것으로 추측된다.

Production of Bacterial Cellulose (BC) by Gluconacetobacter sp. A5 was studied in shaken culture using different cost-effective carbon sources and its structural and mechanical properties were evaluated. Glycerol showed the highest level (7.26 g/l) of BC production, which was about three times higher than the yield in glucose medium. BC production depended not only on the decrease in pH, but also on the ability of Gluconacetobacter sp. A5 to synthesize glucose from different carbon sources and then polymerize it into BC. All BC produced from different carbon sources exhibited a three-dimensional reticulated structure consisting of ultrafine cellulose fibriles. Carbon sources did not significantly change the microfibrile structure of the resulting BC. BC produced from glucose medium had the lowest water-holding capacity, while BC from molasses medium had the highest. XRD data revealed that all BC were cellulose type I, the same as typical native cellulose. The crystalline strength of BC produced in glucose medium was the highest, and that in molasses medium was the lowest. Our results suggest that glycerol could be a potential low-cost substrate for BC production, leading to the reduction in the production cost, and also to produce BC with different mechanical properties by selecting appropriate carbon source.

A hyperthermostable endoglucanase from Pyrococcus horikoshii with the capability of hydrolyzing crystalline cellulose was analyzed. A protein engineering study was carried out to obtain a reduced-size mutant. Five amino acid residues at both the N- and C-terminus were found to be removable without any loss of activity or thermal stability. Site-directed mutagenesis was also performed on R102, N200, E201, H297, Y299, E342, and W377, residues possibly involved in the active center or in the recognition and binding of a cellulose substrate. The activity of the resulting mutants was considerably decreased, confirming that the mutated residues were all important for activity. A reduced-size enzyme, as active as the wild-type endoglucanase, was successfully obtained, plus the residues critical for its activity and specificity were confirmed. Consequently, an engineered enzyme with a reduced size was obtained, and the amino acids essential for activity were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis and comparison with a known three-dimensional structure.

The microstructure and tensile properties of ramie treated with NaOH and crosslinked with 1, 2, 3, 4-butanetetracarboxylic acid were characterised. X-ray diffraction and FTIR were used to study the crystalline structure o f the resultant ramie yarns. Results showed that the maximum change in the structure of the modified ramie took place at 16% NaOH, which would completely transform Cellulose I to Cellulose II. Also, the crystallinity index and fibre orientation decreased to the minimum value while the absorption properties were enhanced. The average degree of polymerization of the treated ramie yams slightly decreased after NaOH treatment.
