Preparation of cellulose nanoparticle from cinnamon
Authors
Abstract:
The preparation of cellulose nanostructures is considered in this paper. Cellulose nanoparticles(nano cellulose) were extracted from cinnamon for the first time. The chemically-induceddestruction strategy based on controlled strong acid hydrolysis treatment was used for dissolutionof lignin and fragmentation of cellulose to nano sized structure. The products werecharacterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR), UV-Vis and Mass spectroscopy. SEM images demonstrated the cellulosenanoparticles production. Size distribution histogram which was obtained from the SEM imageshowed that nanoparticles size were less than 100 nm with average size about 50 nm. XRDanalysis showed amorphous structure of nanoparticles. Chemical structures and functionalgroup of cellulose nanoparticles approved using FT-IR. UV-VIS spectrum of macro cellulose,micro cellulose and nano cellulose were done in water, acetone and acetic acid. These spectrumsillustrate the same absorption for tree materials in agues, organic and acidic solventsapproving the stability of structures and maintaining molecular structure during making nanocellulose. Mass spectroscopy peaks are in good agreement with the structure of the celluloseand its fragmentation during analysis.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can be obtained from bamboo pulp by hydrolysis with sulfuric acid. Firstly, the authors conducted a series of experiments under different conditions, and concluded that the optimal parameters were as follows: sulfuric acid concentration 60%, temperature 45 °C, the time is 90 minutes and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:8. Then, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fo...

Cellulose, a linear polymer of glucopyranose sugar molecules, is synthesized both by plants and bacteria. The plant-produced cellulose is present along with other compounds such as hemicelluloses and lignin, and has been used historically for a wide variety of applications ranging from paper-making to cosmetics. The cellulose produced by bacteria, on the other hand, is pure and difficult to mak...
