Experimental services

A series of new experimental protocols of crucial importance is under development. The objective is to combine the expertise of several groups

• Molecular weight distribution of different cellulosic substrates
• Carbohydrate composition in solid materials (ground wood, different pulps, straw, spelts)
• Evaluation of charge measurements using streaming potential titration
• Evaluation of zeta potential measurements for fibrous polymers
• Starch: Characterisation and Modification
• Comparative study of polysaccharide crystallinity by X-Ray diffraction and solid state NMR
• Correlation between the amounts of carboxyl groups determined by chemical, titration methods and the surface charge/total charge
