Grafted cellulose strands on the surface of silica: effect of environment on reactivity.
The design, synthesis and characterization of materials consisting of grafted poly(1 → 4-β-glucan) strands on silica is reported. The silanol-rich environment provided in these materials activates the glycosidic bond for hydrolysis under mild conditions.
