Aggregation during coniferyl alcohol polymerization in pectin solution: a biomimetic approach of the first steps of lignification.

abstract：:Surface pressure isotherms and structural and surface dilatational properties of three hydroxypropylmethycelluloses (HPMCs, called E4M, E50LV, and F4M) adsorbed films at the air-water interface were determined. In this work we present evidence that HPMC molecules are able to diffuse and saturate the air-water interfac...
