Beschreibung:
Superstructures fabricated from carbohydrates and their derivatives hold an immense promise for the application in diverse fields. However, still many understudied problems challenge us, such as the roles of backbones and side chains during the formation of superstructures, precise control of their morphologies and the application of these unique structures. In this thesis, I first fabricated hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces on wood by using cellulose stearoyl ester (CSE) and glycerol stearoyl ester (GSE). CSE was used for dip-coating (1st layer) the wood, leading to a hydrophobic ...
