Wanasekara,Jeffrey P. Youngblood +23 more
TL;DR: This review establishes detailed best practices, methods and techniques for characterizing CNM particle morphology, surface chemistry, surface charge, purity, crystallinity, rheological properties, mechanical properties, and toxicity for two distinct forms of CNMs: cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose Nanofibrils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose as a natural source for groundbreaking applications in materials science: Today’s state
Dieter Klemm,Emily D. Cranston,Dagmar Fischer,Miguel Gama,Stephanie A. Kedzior,Dana Kralisch,Friederike Kramer,Tetsuo Kondo,Tom Lindström,Sandor Nietzsche,Katrin Petzold-Welcke,Falk Rauchfuß +11 more
TL;DR: Nanocelluloses are natural materials with at least one dimension in the nano-scale as discussed by the authors, which combine important cellulose properties with the features of nanomaterials and open new horizons for materials science and its applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cationic surface functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals
TL;DR: The surface of cellulose nanocrystals, prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cotton, was rendered cationic through a reaction with epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemically Cross-Linked Cellulose Nanocrystal Aerogels with Shape Recovery and Superabsorbent Properties
Xuan Yang,Emily D. Cranston +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, chemically cross-linked CNC aerogels were prepared based on hydrazone cross-linking of hydrazide and aldehyde-functionalized CNCs.
