Kinematic Modeling of Mechanocatalytic Depolymerization of Α-Cellulose and Beechwood

Abstract

Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Dr. Roberto Rinaldi from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. The Cover image is an artistic representation of the collision model for the ball mill operation effecting the mechanocatalytic depolymerization of (ligno-)cellulose resulting in water-soluble oligosaccharides (and lignin oligomers). The Full Paper itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.201702060.
