Effects of Cellulase Treatment on Surface Structure of Fast-Growing Poplar APMP Pulp

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the surface composition and morphology of fast-growing Alkaline peroxide mechanical pulping (APMP). Surface ultrastructure of APMP were modified by cellulase. The fiber ultrastructure and cellulose crystallinity before and after treatment with cellulose enzyme were analyzed by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that surface particle size can be reduced to 300nm and bump of fiber surface became obvious. According to the phase contrast image and topography, cell wall region separate clearly. The specific surface area of single fiber became bigger.
