Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of delignification, resulting in an increase in porosity due to partial or complete removal of lignin and hemicellulose constituents. In this work, the impact of partial and complete delignification on the mesoporous structure is investigated via water vapor sorption isotherms and deuterium exchange. Pore size distributions of wood samples with five different delignification levels were compared to native wood. The derived pore size distributions at the water swollen state reveal an increase in porosity with decreasing lignin content. However, after complete lignin removal, drying causes a nonreversible collapse of the cell wall, which results in reduced porosity.
木材是一种非常适合用于开发机械性能强大且具有功能性材料的生物基支架。通过脱木质素可以增强其功能化,由于部分或完全去除木质素和半纤维素成分,孔隙率会增加。在这项工作中,通过水蒸气吸附等温线和氘交换研究了部分和完全脱木质素对介孔结构的影响。将五种不同脱木质素水平的木材样品的孔径分布与天然木材进行了比较。在水溶胀状态下得出的孔径分布表明,随着木质素含量的降低,孔隙率增加。然而,在完全去除木质素后,干燥会导致细胞壁不可逆塌陷,从而导致孔隙率降低。
