Abstract:From a circular economy
perspective, one-pot strategies for the
isolation of cellulose nanomaterials at a high yield and with multifunctional
properties are attractive. Here, the effects of lignin content (bleached
vs unbleached softwood kraft pulp) and sulfuric acid concentration
on the properties of crystalline lignocellulose isolates and their
films are explored. Hydrolysis at 58 wt % sulfuric acid resulted in
both cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and microcrystalline cellulose
at a relatively high yield (>55%… Show more
