Isolation and characterization of cellulose nanofibrils from wheat straw using steam explosion coupled with high shear homogenization.
Anupama Kaushik,Mandeep Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Characterization of the fibers by AFM, TEM, and SEM showed that fiber diameter decreases with treatment and final nanofibril size was 10-15nm, and FT-IR, XRD, and TGA studies confirmed the removal of hemicellulose and lignin during the chemical treatment process.
