Cellulose nanofibres, 20 nm in diameter and 300 nm long, were prepared by acid hydrolysis of flax yarns. Com- posite films containing 2.5 and 5.0 wt% flax cellulose (FC) fibres were prepared by solution casting of mixtures of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) solution and cellulose nanofibre suspension in chloroform. The resulting composite films and solu- tion cast pure PLA film, with thickness of around 160 μm, showed good transparency. For composites with 2.5 and 5.0 wt% FC, the tensile strength increased by 25 and 59% and tensile modulus by 42 and 47%, respectively, compared to pure PLA film. The composite film with 2.5 wt% FC combined high strength and ductility with tensile strength of 24.3 MPa and 70% elongation at break. Flax cellulose appeared to facilitate nucleation and subsequent crystallisation of PLA more effectively in the amorphous composites than in the crystalline composites.read more

Optimization of the isolation of nanocrystals from microcrystalline cellulose by acid hydrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, a rapid, high-yield process was proposed to obtain an aqueous stable colloid suspension of cellulose nanocrystals/whiskers. But the results of the process were limited by the concentration of MCC and sulfuric acid, the hydrolysis time and temperature, and ultrasonic treatment time.
