Transmission Electron Microscopy for the Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are high aspect ratio nanomaterials readily obtained from cellulose microfibrils via strong acid hydrolysis. They feature unique properties stemming from their surface chemistry, their crystallinity, and their three-dimensional structure. CNCs have been exploited in a number of applica‐ tions such as optically active coatings, nanocomposite materials, or aerogels. ...
متن کاملHierarchical Self-Assembly of Cellulose Nanocrystals in a Confined Geometry
Complex hierarchical architectures are ubiquitous in nature. By designing and controlling the interaction between elementary building blocks, nature is able to optimize a large variety of materials with multiple functionalities. Such control is, however, extremely challenging in man-made materials, due to the difficulties in controlling their interaction at different length scales simultaneousl...
متن کاملPhotoresponsive 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...
متن کاملStructure-factor analysis of femtosecond microdiffraction patterns from protein nanocrystals.
A complete set of structure factors has been extracted from hundreds of thousands of femtosecond single-shot X-ray microdiffraction patterns taken from randomly oriented nanocrystals. The method of Monte Carlo integration over crystallite size and orientation was applied to experimental data from Photosystem I nanocrystals. This arrives at structure factors from many partial reflections without...
متن کاملbarrier properties of cellulose nanocrystals -pva nanocomposites
the aim of this study was to investigate the barrier properties of cellulose nanocrystals-pvananocomposites. nanocomposite films with different filler loading levels (3, 6, 9 and 12% by wt) weredeveloped by solvent casting method. the effect of cellulose nanocrystals on the barrier properties ofthe nanocomposites was studied. to this end, moisture absorption, water vapor permeability (wvp),oxyg...
