An investigation on interaction between nano crystalline cellulose and water-soluble polymers in aqueous solutions
DownloadSpring 2013
In this research, the phase behavior of rod like nano crystalline cellulose (NCC) suspensions has been investigated. NCC suspensions with concentration at 1-4wt.% exhibited isotropic behavior,a mixture of isotropic-nematic behaviorat 4 - 6wt.%, and nematic phase behaviorat 7- 10wt.%. Then, both...

Spring 2016
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), a new breathtaking nanomaterial, is of scientific and commercial interest because of its low density, renewability, biodegradability, non-toxity and wide range of application potential such as personal care, paints, pharmaceuticals, coatings, drilling fluids, etc (1)....
