TL;DR: Evaluated effects of inorganic acids on the production of BC nanocrystals (BCNCs) resulted in improved thermal stability without decreased crystallinity, and all BCNC suspensions exhibited zeta potential moduli greater than 30mV, indicating good colloidal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of Cellulose Nanomaterials, Their Capabilities and Applications
TL;DR: Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) as discussed by the authors are a new class of cellulose particles with properties and functionalities distinct from molecular cellulose and wood pulp, and as a result, they are being developed for applications that were once thought impossible for cellulosic materials.

Cellulose biosynthesis and function in bacteria.
TL;DR: Exclusively an extracellular product, bacterial cellulose appears to fulfill diverse biological roles within the natural habitat, conferring mechanical, chemical, and physiological protection in A. xylinum and Sarcina ventriculi or facilitating cell adhesion during symbiotic or infectious interactions in Rhizobium and Agrobacterium species.

The Role of Calcium Carbonate in Cement Hydration
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown by experiment and calculation that much, if not all, of this calcite is reactive and affects the distribution of lime, alumina and sulfate and thereby alters the mineralogy of hydrated cement pastes.
Journal ArticleDOI
All-Cellulose Composite
TL;DR: In this paper, an all-cellulose composite, in which both the fibers and the matrix are cellulose, was prepared by distinguishing the solubility of the matrix cellulose into the solvent from that of the fibers through pretreatment, and the structure, mechanical and thermal properties of this composite were investigated using an X-ray diffraction, a scanning electron microscope, a tensile test, and dynamic viscoelastic and thermomechanical analyses.
