that linear molecules should vibrate more vigorously than
branched molecules since linear molecules should theoretically
have more possibility to move freely than branched
molecules. No cellubiose, but large quantities of glucose was
observed for the different pretreatment dosages of sulphuric
acid, leading to the conclusion that the dielectric heating effect
of the solution as well as the increased vibrations caused
by the irradiation was sufficient to break the hydrogen bonds
to decrease the crystallinity as well as break the b-(1,4)
glycosidic bonds of the cellulose and decompose the cellubiose
into glucose molecules.
