Extraction of cellulose nanowhiskers: natural fibers source, methodology and application
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of cellulose nanowhiskers in polymeric composites is growing due to its good properties, which expands the applicability in the industrial sector, although many studies are still in the laboratory stage. Silva, R. et al. cites many segments for application of natural cellulosic fibers, wide applicability detaching, from textile industry to some studies for the use of fibers such as heavy metals absorbent in industrial waste treatment.[1]

Review of Recent Research in Nano Cellulose Preparation from Different Lignocellulosic Fibers
Lignocellulosic fibers have become the focus of intense interest in recent years. They have attracted the attention of scientists and technologies worldwide because of their tremendous advantages and now it is possible to isolate cellulose nanofibrils and nanowhiskers from various lignocellulosic wastes. Studies in this area have shown that both cellulose nanofibrils and nanowhiskers could be u...
متن کاملFabrication of a Cellulose-Based Nanocomposite as a Potential Scaffold in Tissue Engineering
Amanda Williams, University of South Carolina, 2012 SURF Fellow Advisor: Prof. Hamid Garmestani Graduate Mentor: Parisa Pooyan Introduction Many biopolymers in place today lack native biomechanical characteristics of the target tissue and are mechanically and thermally unstable. A suggested material to combat these issues is a composite material made of a biopolymer matrix with a reinforcing ag...
متن کاملMicrotubule asters as templates for nanomaterials assembly
Self organization of the kinesin-microtubule system was implemented as a novel template to create percolated nanofiber networks. Asters of microtubule seeds were immobilized on glass surfaces and their growth was recorded over time. The individual aster islands became interconnected as microtubules grew and overlapped, resulting in a highly percolated network. Cellulose nanowhiskers were used t...
متن کاملPreparation of Unmodified Cellulose Nanocrystals from Phyllostachys heterocycla and their Biocompatibility Evaluation
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), also called cellulose nanowhiskers, cellulose nanorods, or nanocrystalline cellulose, were prepared from Phyllostachys heterocycla using a commercial cellulase for hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis process and application performance as well as the biocompatibility of the CNCs were investigated. Here, the cellulase hydrolysis conditions were optimized at a cell...
متن کاملExtraction and characterization of natural cellulose fibers from common milkweed stems
Natural cellulose fibers with cellulose content, strength, and elongation higher than that of milkweed floss and between that of cotton and linen have been obtained from the stems of common milkweed plants. Although milkweed floss is a unique natural cellulose fiber with low density, the short length and low elongation make milkweed floss unsuitable as a textile fiber. The possibility of using ...
