| Popis: | Wood fibers are composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Fiber properties such as bonding ability are largely governed by surface chemistry of fibers. FTIR and ESCA have been applied for analysis of wood fibers and papers, but these methods do not give information on the surface distribution of components. Microscopy offers a linkage between chemistry and structure with methods for distinctive and specific staining or labelling of fiber components. Antibodies can be used as specific markers for different carbohydrates. They have been produced against oligosaccharides obtained from xylan and xyloglucan (Takahashi and Sumiya, 1990, Sone and Sato, 1994). Also polysaccharides have been used as antigen (Moore, 1989, Knox et al., 1990, Westermark and Vennigerholz, 1995). |
