Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose nanocrystals: chemistry, self-assembly, and applications.
TL;DR: Dr. Youssef Habibi’s research interests include the sustainable production of materials from biomass, development of high performance nanocomposites from lignocellulosic materials, biomass conversion technologies, and the application of novel analytical tools in biomass research.
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.

Nanocellulose: a new ageless bionanomaterial
TL;DR: In this paper, the hierarchical structure of cellulose is exploited to extract nanoparticles from this naturally occurring polymer, which can be used for the processing of polymer nanocomposites.
