This research used an oven and spray drying method to dry nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and evaluates its effect on polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite properties. As shown by atomic force microscopy (AFM), the average size of nanocellulose in the spray-dried sample (NCSD) was 84-96 nm. However, the average size of nanocellulose obtained from oven drying was […]
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 […]
