Corncob is one of the industrial waste has cellulose content of 39.1 wt%, which makes it has high potential to be a raw material in the production of cellulose nanocrystal. Corncob was delignificated with 3.5 wt% HNO3 and NaNO2 10 mg, precipitated process with 17.5 wt% NaOH, and bleached with 10 wt% H2O2. Cellulose nanocrystal was obtained by hydrolysis using 45 wt% H2SO4. Corncob and cellulose...

the objective of this research was to compare the tensile, permeability, solubility and color properties of plasticized starch-polyvinyl alcohol-montmo-rillonite (ps-pva-mmt) and plasticized starch-polyvinyl alcohol-cellulose nanocrystal (ps-pva-ncc) bionanocomposite flms. the results showed that adding mmt (7%), increased the ultimate tensile strenght from 4.2 mpa to 4.61 mpa, however, ncc (7%...

Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

The thixotropy of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) water suspensions is intrinsically dependent on the hierarchical structure suspension. diverse hierarchies that comprise individual CNC nanoparticles and mesophase liquid crystalline domains, chiral nematic structures, contribute selectively to rheological material response. Here, we combine rheology with polarized light imaging (PLI) elucidate thix...

This work reports the development of renewable cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and ionic liquid (IL) hybrid materials for bending actuator applications.

A new synthesis of bis(acyl)phosphane oxide (BAPO) photoinitiators was developed which can be used to functionalize cellulose nanocrystal surfaces for polymer grafting. Hybrid materials with excellent graft yields can be rapidly obtained under mild and acid-free conditions.

Liquid crystals (LC) have been found to many unique characteristics during the last few decades. The liquid crystal phase is ubiquitous in biological world, as well cellulose and its derivatives. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), which can obtain chiral LC aqueous suspension, attracting much attention. size properties of CNC, such their light weight, special optical properties, non-toxicity, biocom...

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) has potential to be used as a reinforcement in polymeric nanocomposites because of their inherent biodegradability, universal accessibility, and superior mechanical prop...
