Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) production suffers, among other problems, from low yields. The focus of this study was to investigate the universal effect of charge density, centrifugation, and mechanical treatment as limiting causes of yield. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was used as the starting material in order to eliminate the relatively arbitrary yield losses caused by the hydrolysis conditions...
Semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels with improved mechanical properties and remarkable sensitivity toward pH changes were prepared using chitosan reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Glutaraldehyde was used as a crosslinker because of its high reactivity toward the amine groups of chitosan. In this study, rod-shaped CNCs that were approximately 200–300 nm in length and 40–50 nm...
In an attempt to prepare cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by TEMPO-mediated oxidation of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), a new species of MCC called AaltoCell was placed under scrutiny. Unlike Avicel, AaltoCell is a never-dried species, still containing ca. 10% xylan in its structure. According to thermoporosimetry, the pore size distributions of AaltoCell and Avicel did not differ from each other...
