Outline of Final Research Achievements

We treated Moso pulp by mechanical treatments such as the ball milling with water in the presence of endoglucanase (EG), a kind of cellulase. This treatment disrupted the cohesive bonds between individual cellulose microfibril effectively and produced nano-fibers (Take CNF). The Take CNF should be covered with xylan. The film contained agar and take CNF showed the almost strong as cellophane. The composite gel contained cornstarch and take CNF showed not same as the cornstarch only.
