Crystal Structure and Hydrogen-Bonding System in Cellulose Iβ from Synchrotron X-ray and Neutron Fiber Diffraction
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal and molecular structure of cellulose Iβ were determined using synchrotron and neutron diffraction data recorded from oriented fibrous samples prepared by aligning cellulose microcrystals from tunicin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified Scherrer Equation to Estimate More Accurately Nano-Crystallite Size Using XRD
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Scherrer equation (MSE) method was proposed to calculate the nano-scale size of bovine bone using XRD radiation of wavelength λ (nm) from measuring full width at half maximum of peaks (β) in radian located at any 2π in the pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of reaction conditions on the properties and behavior of wood cellulose nanocrystal suspensions.
TL;DR: Increased acid-to-pulp ratio reduced the dimensions of the nanocrystals thus produced and the critical concentration was increased and the biphasic range became narrower; a suspension made from a bleached kraft eucalyptus pulp gave very similar properties to the softwood nanocrystal suspension when prepared under similar hydrolysis conditions.
