Effect of nanocellulose isolation techniques on the formation of reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite films (2012, background): “While for mechanical methods, which include high intensity ultrasonication [13], high pressure refiner [14] or grinder treatment [15], the main product generated is not a single fiber and has been referred as nanofibrils.”
Concentration effects on the isolation and dynamic rheological behavior of cellulose nanofibers via ultrasonic processing (2013, methodology): “Ultrasonication has been used to obtain nanoscale cellulose fibers because of its convenient operation and because it does not significantly affect fiber properties (Wang and Cheng 2009; Cheng et al. 2009, 2010; Chen et al. 2011a, b, c).”
PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PVA COMPOSITES WITH CELLULOSE NANOFIBERS OBTAINED BY ULTRASONICATION (2011, background): “Ultrasonic waves produce strong mechanical stresses due to cavitation, causing disaggregation of cellulose fibers into smaller entities (Zhang et al. 2007; Wang and Cheng 2009).”
Ultralight carbon aerogel from nanocellulose as a highly selective oil absorption material (2015, background): “In particular, microfibril cellulose (MFC) consists of long, flexible fibers cleaved from the hierarchy of plant or wood cellulose by mechanical processes (Cheng et al. 2007; Moon et al. 2011; Wang and Cheng 2009).”
Processing of wood-based microfibrillated cellulose and nanofibrillated cellulose, and applications relating to papermaking: a review (2016, methodology): “High-intensity ultra-sonication (HIUS) Another usefulmechanical technique that has been used to extract cellulose nanomaterials is high-intensity ultrasonication (Mishra et al. 2012; Chen et al. 2011a, b, c; Cheng et al. 2010; Wang and Cheng 2009; Zhao et al. 2007).”
Production and modification of nanofibrillated cellulose using various mechanical processes: a review. (2014, background): “Wang and Cheng (2009) evaluated the effects of temperature, concentration, power, size, time and distance from probe a) water (b) acrylic oligomer emulsion (Wang & Sain, 2007a, 2007b).”
