Surface Modification of Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) to Form a Biocompatible, Stable, and Hydrophilic Substrate for MRI

Abstract: This study focused on surface modification of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to create a biocompatible, stable, and hydrophilic substrate suitable for use as a coating agent to develop a dual-contrast composite material. The CNCs were prepared using acid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis was completed using 64% sulfuric acid at 45 °C for 1 h, which was combined with polyethylene glycol and sodium hydroxide (PEG/NaOH). The yield of samples exhibited prominent physicochemical properties. Zeta (ζ) potential analysis showed t… Show more

“…In practical terms, this stability facilitates consistent and uniform dispersion when integrating SPNFC into composite materials or formulations. As the zeta potential is large, it indicates that there is a strong repulsive force between the particles, which improves the stability of the suspended and makes it less probable to flocculate [ 101 ]. In the context of potential interactions with other materials, the negative charge on SPNFC surfaces may influence its compatibility with positively charged components.…”

“…Nanocellulose with a negative zeta potential is highly preferred as it can resist aggregation in a colloidal environment, leading to a wider distribution [49]. The reported zeta potential value presents a more stable dispersed state compared with values between −15 and 15 mV where agglomeration forms due to the lack of necessary charges for a repelling effect [49]. This result implies that the produced nanocellulose would lead to a uniform nanocellulose suspension due to the strong electrostatic repulsive forces [49,50].…”

The measurement results can be obtained from Section S.IV.4 in the Supplementary Material.…”
