We have modified the standard sulphuric acid hydrolysis method for the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to successfully isolate a novel, highly crystalline cellulose material from the spent liquor of CNCs. The novel material has a cellulose II crystal structure that is distinctly different from the cellulose I crystal structure of CNCs. The modified method uses a shorter time for the hydrolysis,...
Cellulose nanocrystals were prepared from cotton fibers by a two-stage method involving ionic liquid swelling treatment followed by hydrolysis under mild acid conditions. Controlled swelling of cellulosic fibers was achieved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) at 80 °C, while avoiding extensive dissolution of crystalline regions. Since the accessibility of the substrate was considerably...
We fabricated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from different cellulose materials (bleached eucalyptus pulp (BEP), spruce dissolving pulp (SDP) and cotton based qualitative filter paper (QFP) using concentrated oxalic acid hydrolysis and subsequent mechanical fibrillation (for CNFs). The process was green as acid can be easily recovered, and the prepared cellulose nanomaterials...
