cellulose nanocrystal (cnc) is a type of nanomaterial which is produced by partial hydrolysis of cellulose and elimination of its amorphous regions. cnc has several advantages such biodegradability and safety toward human health. in this study, cnc was produced from cotton linters and methods such transmission electron microscopy which were used for confirmation of nanoscale size production of ...

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

The aim of this article is to review the research conducted in field aqueous and polymer composites cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) gels. experimental techniques employed characterize rheological behavior these materials will be summarized, main advantages using CNC gels also addressed review. In addition, devoted use numerical simulation methodologies describe production CNC-based materials, e.g.,...

The aim of this paper is to report the impact of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals on the barrier properties and on the migration behaviour of poly(lactic acid), PLA, based nano-biocomposites prepared by the solvent casting method. Their microstructure, crystallinity, barrier and overall migration properties were investigated. Pristine (CNC) and surfactant-modified cellulose nanocrystals (...

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...

Because of its high biocompatibility, bio-degradability, low-cost and easy availability, cellulose finds application in disparate areas of research. Here we focus our attention on the most recent and attractive potential applications of cellulose in the biomedical field. We first describe the chemical/structural composition of cellulose fibers, the cellulose sources/features and cellulose chemi...

Chen, Si. Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Cellulose Nanocrystal Polymer Composite Fibers. Major Professor: R. Byron Pipes. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a class of newly developed and sustainable nanomaterial derived from cellulose-based materials such as wood. There have been substantial research efforts to utilize these materials as reinforci...

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...

Solar energy is potentially the largest source of renewable energy at our disposal, but significant advances are required to make photovoltaic technologies economically viable and, from a life-cycle perspective, environmentally friendly, and consequently scalable. Cellulose nanomaterials are emerging high-value nanoparticles extracted from plants that are abundant, renewable, and sustainable. H...
