Direct Compression Microcrystalline Cellulose Grade 12 versus Classic Grade 102

straightforward in terms of good manufacturing practice requirements than are wet granulation and dry compaction, the pharmaceutical industry is focusing increasingly on this process. Although coarse microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) grade 12 offers outstanding flow properties, the most commonly used grade for direct compression is the well-known fine grade 102. The reason for this preference is...

Photoresponsive Cellulose Nanocrystals

In this communication a method for the creation of fluorescent cellulose nanoparticles using click chemistry and subsequent photodimerization of the installed side‐ chains is demonstrated. In the first step, the primary hydroxyl groups on the surface of the CNCs were converted to carboxylic acids by using TEMPO‐mediated hypohalite oxidation. The alkyne groups, essent...

Comparison of polyolefin biocomposites prepared with waste cardboard, microcrystalline cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals via solid-state shear pulverization

As a significant part of municipal solid waste (MSW), waste cardboard (CB) is a sustainable, inexpensive, and rich source of cellulose. Previous studies of polyolefin/CB composites have reported modest enhancement to major reduction in modulus and major reduction in elongation at break values relative to neat polymer. Here, green hybrids of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP)...

Enthalpy of Combustion of Microcrystalline Cellulose

A test substance with characteristics and properties similar to those of cellulose· based solid waste products is needed to calibrate calorimeters and combustors which will be routinely burning these materials to determine their calorific values precisely for use in commerce. Microcrystalline cellulose was found to be a good calibrant for this purpose. The enthalpy of combustion of microcrystal...
