Outline and Purpose of the Course Woody biomass and its components are expected to be promising materials to sustainable society based on resources circulation. This lecture demonstrates the developments of functional materials derived from woody biomass components and from assembly of the components. Through this lecture, students create fundamental concepts to develop novel materials from woody biomass.
Course Goals To understand the functions of materials fabricated from hydrophilic and hydrophobic wood components.
Schedule and Contents 1. Separation of woody biomass components and its significance
2. Physical and chemical properties of lignin isolated from woody biomass
3. Functionalization of isolated lignins
4. Preparation of water-soluble lignin derivatives and its relation to amphiphilicity
5. Preparation of lignin-based gels and their functions
6. Creation of wood cell wall-mimicking materials -Honeycomb-patterned cellulose as a basic framework for the mimicking materials-
7. Fabrication of wood cell wall-mimicking materials from cellulose and isolated lignin
8. Fabrication of wood cell wall-mimicking materials from three major components of wood cell wall
