Enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic fibers by cationic polyelectrolytesReye, John Timothy 14 December 2010 (has links)
A new method for enhancing rates of enzymatic hydrolysis for cellulosic fiber is presented. By adding a cationic polyelectrolyte to a cellulase/cellulose hydrolytic system, the polyelectrolyte binds to the cellulase and fiber forming flocs. The cellulase is bound by a patching mechanism. By using this technique, the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis can be enhanced. This thesis covered observations made about the cellulase/cationic polyelectrolyte/fiber interactions. A mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results.
