“…Commercial forms of microcrystalline cellulose as a colloidal system are available as an aqueous suspension at high solid concentration such as Celish, a trade name from Daicel Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), providing a 10% slurry of cellulose nanofibers. Thixotropic gel system was described by Battista and Smith in 1961 through a patent [60,61]. Solidified liquid crystals have been applied for optical applications like in security paper [62].…”

The impressive mechanical properties, reinforcing capability, abundance, low weight, low filler load requirements, and biodegradable nature of nanoparticles from bioresources such as cellulose, make it an ideal candidate for the development of green polymer nanocomposites. Significant amount of research in this area is primarily focused on the extraction, qualitative surface modification, and evaluation of mechanical performance after filling in polymer matrixes at different ratios. The extreme agglomeration tendency, hydrophilic nature, difficult dispersion in many organic solvents of cellulose nanoparticles are the challenging obstacles when fabrication of such nanocomposites is concerned. Traditional processing of polymer composites mainly through extrusion and melt compounding, is not easily possible in case of cellulose nanocomposites due to higher possibility of poor dispersion and degradation of nanofibers. Therefore, issues related to the fabrication of nanofiber‐based products and their application appears to be one of the most important areas in order to enhance their competitiveness with other nanoparticles. This review is aimed to summarize the recent accomplishments and issues involving the use of cellulose nanoparticles in the development of new polymeric materials. POLYM. ENG.

“…Microcrystalline cellulose is a purified and partially depolymerized cellulose, which can be prepared from all forms of natural celluloses (Battista & Smith 1962). Many different sources have been used to prepare cellulose nanocrystals, such as tunicate (Favier et al 1995a(Favier et al , 1995b, wheat straw (Helbert et al 1996), cotton (Ebeling et al 1999), wood fibres (BeckCandanedo et al 2005), sisal (Garcia de Rodriguez et al 2006;Moran et al 2008), flax fiber (Cao et al 2007), ramie (Habibi et al 2008), mulberry (Li et al 2009), coconut husk fibres (Rosa et al 2010), pineapple leaves (Cherian et al 2010), bananas (Deepa et al 2011), kenaf bast fibers , rice husk (Johar et al 2012), rice straw (Lu & Hsieh 2012), mengkuang leaves (pandanus tectorius) ) and pandanus utilis (Chenampulli et al 2013).…”

“…The enough concentrated acid is required to break these strong contacts and release free nanocrystallites. However, when cellulose is hydrolysed by diluted acid, then strong inter-crystallite contacts remained intact and instead of nano-particles the micron-size crystalline aggregates of so called microcrystalline cellulose are formed [22].…”

Nanocrystalline cellulose particles are new class of cellulose materials that can find the wide application in various technical areas, biotechnology and medicine. The nanoparticles are usually made by treatment or initial cellulose samples with concentrated sulfuric acid (SA) at various temperatures and following mechanical or ultrasound disintegration. Unfortunately, conditions of existing methods for preparation of nanocellulose are multifarious and give both crystalline and amorphous nanoparticles. Therefore in this paper the optimal conditions for obtaining just of nanocrystalline cellulose particles (NCP) have been studied. The experiment showed that isolation of NCP is carried out in narrow interval of the acid concentration: from 50 to about 61 wt. %. If concentration of SA is less than 50 wt. % then micro-scale particles are isolated. On the other hand, if concentration of SA is higher than 63 wt. % the cellulose completely dissolves, and as a result instead of nanocrystalline the amorphous particles are formed with decreased yield. In the range of the acid concentration from 55 to 61 wt. %, a low decrystallization of the initial cellulose is taken place that contributes to forming of rod-like nanocrystalline cellulose particles. The following optimal conditions of the acidic treatment for isolation of NCP were proposed: concentration of sulfuric acid 57-60 wt. %, acid to cellulose ratio 8-10, temperature [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] o C, time 40-60 min. These optimal conditions in combination with the high-power disintegration permit obtaining the rod-like nanocrystalline cellulose particles (150-200 x 10-20 nm) with the increased yield (70-75%).
