Cellulose Nanocrystal Submonolayers by Spin Coating
Langmuir, 2007Dilute concentrations of cellulose nanocrystal solutions were spin coated onto different substrates to investigate the effect of the substrate on the nanocrystal submonolayers. Three substrates were probed: silica, titania, and amorphous cellulose. According to atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, anionic cellulose nanocrystals formed small aggregates

Synthesis and conservation of cellulose nanocrystals
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2020This work deals with the preparation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from microcrystalline cellulose by acid hydrolysis, discusses how their characteristics varied according to the drying technique used for their conservation and analyzes their re-dispersion in water. A stable water dispersion of "rod" or "needle" type CNC (≈5 nm of diameter, 276 nm of

Cellulose nanocrystal‐embedded triacetate cellulose composite films
Polymer Composites, 2015The purpose of this study is to introduce cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) to the triacetyl cellulose (TAC) matrix and to evaluate the physical properties of the prepared nanocomposite films. To disperse CNCs in the TAC matrix, the surfaces of nanofillers were chemically modified.

Nanoengineering the Redispersibility of Cellulose Nanocrystals
Biomacromolecules, 2022Enhancing the redispersibility of dried colloidal particles to yield stable dispersions after rehydration is a persistent challenge in the sustainable processing of nanocelluloses due to hydrogen bonding-induced irreversible aggregation. Programming nanocelluloses, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), with moieties that enable colloidal repulsion ...

Reinforcing Poly(ethylene) with Cellulose Nanocrystals
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2014The fabrication of nanocomposites of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), one of the world's most widely used polymers, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which represent the world's most abundant bio‐based nanofiller, is reported. While the hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophilic filler seem to be intrinsically incompatible, this article shows that it is ...

Surfactant-enhanced cellulose nanocrystal Pickering emulsions
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2015The effect of surfactants on the properties of Pickering emulsions stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was investigated. Electrophoretic mobility, interfacial tension, confocal microscopy and three-phase contact angle measurements were used to elucidate the interactions between anionic CNCs and cationic alkyl ammonium surfactants ...

Hybrid cellulose nanocrystal/magnetite glucose biosensors
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2020There exists a high demand for simple and affordable blood glucose monitoring methods. For this purpose, new generations of biosensors are being developed for possible in vivo or dermal use. We present (non)sulphated cellulose nanocrystal/magnetite thin films to act as dermal and oral glucose biosensors.
