Processing of wood-based microfibrillated cellulose and nanofibrillated cellulose, and applications relating to papermaking: a review (2016, methodology): “Mechanical treatment has been the primary disintegration technique used to produce MFC and NFC.”
Effect of high residual lignin on the thermal stability of nanofibrils and its enhanced mechanical performance in aqueous environments (2015, background): “CNFs derived from these fibers with a higher surface area and higher numbers of free hydroxyls for a given volume are highly hydrophilic and this could substantially reduce the material stability and mechanical properties of structures made of these fibrils (Spoljaric et al. 2013).”
Effect of residual lignin and heteropolysaccharides in nanofibrillar cellulose and nanopaper from wood fibers (2012, background): “A drawback of our earlier work on the effect of lignin was the fact that the precursor pulps used to produce NFCs were obtained from different wood, pulping and bleaching processes (Spence et al. 2010a, b).”
WATER VAPOR BARRIER PROPERTIES OF COATED AND FILLED MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE COMPOSITE FILMS (2011, methodology): “An estimated pore diameter can be calculated using previously determined MFC dimensions (Spence et al. 2010) and the assumption that MFCs have a uniform cross section that can be assumed to be equivalent to that of a circle.”
A comparative study of energy consumption and physical properties of microfibrillated cellulose produced by different processing methods (2011, methodology): “This information was used to determine the adsorbed mass and thus the respective SSA assuming an area per molecule of 1.73 nm2 by the depletion method, as discussed in our previous work (Spence et al. 2010b).”
PAPER CHEMISTRY: Approaching super-hydrophobicity from cellulosic materials: A Review (2013, background): “…(NFC), another form of nanocellulose (Turbak 1983) can be isolated through high-shear mechanical disintegration and homogenization of cellulose fibers (Adbelgawad et al. 2013; Ferrer et al. 2012a; Henriksson et al. 2008; Spence et al. 2010a; 2010b; Zimmermann et al. 2010; Zimmermann et al. 2004).”
