Bio-Catalysis for the Functionalization of Cellulose Nanocrystals
Nanomaterials, 2022 In this work, the chemical modification of cellulose nanocrystals (NCs) using an enzyme as a catalyst has been performed by a “grafting from” reaction, in order to covalently functionalize the external surface of NCs with both poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA ...

NANOCRISTAIS DE CELULOSE A PARTIR DE CELULOSE BACTERIANA [PDF]
Química Nova, 2015 Bacterial cellulose produced from Gluconacetobacter xilinus was used to produce cellulose nanocrystals by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis was performed with 64% sulfuric acid at 50 ºC with the hydrolysis time ranging between 5 and 90 min.

Disordered Cellulose-based Nanostructures for Enhanced Light-scattering [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Cellulose is the most abundant bio-polymer on earth. Cellulose fibres, such as the one extracted form cotton or woodpulp, have been used by humankind for hundreds of years to make textiles and paper. Here we show how, by engineering light matter-interaction, we can optimise light scattering using exclusively cellulose nanocrystals.

Digital color in cellulose nanocrystal films. [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2014 Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) form chiral nematic phases in aqueous suspensions that can be preserved upon evaporation of water. The resulting films show an intense directional coloration determined by their microstructure.

Methyl cellulose/cellulose nanocrystal nanocomposite fibers with high ductility [PDF]
European Polymer Journal 112 (2019) 334-345, 2019 Methylcellulose/cellulose nanocrystal (MC/CNC) nanocomposite fibers showing high ductility and high modulus of toughness were prepared by a simple aqueous wet-spinning from corresponding nanocomposite hydrogels into ethanol coagulation bath followed by drying. The hydrogel MC aq. concentration was maintained at 1 wt-% while the CNC aq.
