Bacterial cellulose produced from Gluconacetobacter xilinus was used to produce cellulose nanocrystals by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis was performed with 64% sulfuric acid at 50 degrees C with the hydrolysis time ...

Lignin-coated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were extracted from the tropical wood Angelim Vermelho in a yield of 47 % based on wood cellulose content. The procedure combined a mild steam explosion process with a treatment ...

In the work presented in this article surface chemical modification was applied to ramie cellulose nanocrystals by grafting organic acid chlorides presenting different lengths of the aliphatic chain. The objective of this ...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNs) were extracted from different sources by acid hydrolysis using H2SO4 and HCI. The thermal decomposition of resulting CNs was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The kinetic parameters ...

A simple straightforward route for the surface esterification of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is herein proposed. CNC obtained from microcrystalline cellulose were acetylated using as catalyst citric acid, a α-hydroxy acid ...

In this work, the effects of incorporating cellulose nanocrystals from soy hulls (WSH30) on the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of methylcellulose (MC) nanocomposites were evaluated. MC/WSH30 nanocomposite films ...

Cellulose nanoparticles (i.e. cellulose elements having at least one dimension in the 1-100nm range) have received increasing attention during the last decade. This is not only evident in academic articles, but it is also ...
