Ionic strength effects on the microstructure and shear rheology of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions (2014, unknown): “It has been reported that the addition of NaCl electrolyte to CNC aqueous suspensions affects the microstructure of the suspensions and also the critical concentrations of liquid crystal phase formation (Dong et al. 1996; Araki et al. 2000; Araki and Kuga 2001; Hirai et al. 2009).”
Nanocellulose properties and applications in colloids and interfaces (2014, unknown): “The nematic ordering in colloidal dispersions is typically ascribed to the shape-anisotropy of CNC leading to ordered arrangements and thus the ordering has been suggested to originate from chirality of the cellulose chains, the interaction between the chiral surfaces and the twisted morphology of C”
Isolation, preparation, and characterization of nanofibers from oil palm empty-fruit-bunch (OPEFB) (2010, methodology): “When nanofiber was produced using mechanical treatment, the thermal stability of the nanofibers was found to be higher than that of the original cellulose ( Alemdar and Sain 2008 ).”
