Mimosa pudica Linn (sensitive plant) is a medicinal plant of family Fabaceae. Its stem is a good source of cellulose. This research work reports isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from M. pudica stem fibres by combined chemical and mechanical treatments. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/starch composites were prepared with incorporation of isolated CNC (1, 3 and 5 wt.%) by solution casting method....
This study provides insight into the thermal degradation of cotton cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by tuning their physico-chemical properties through acid hydrolysis using blends of phosphoric and sulfuric acid. CNCs isolated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis are known to degrade at lower temperatures than CNCs hydrolyzed with phosphoric acid; however, the reason for this change is unclear. Although all...
