Cellulose Nanowhiskers Extracted from Tempo-Oxidized Curaua Fibers

The objective of this study was to obtain nanowhiskers from bleached and milled curaua fibers. Nanowhiskers were obtained via a TEMPO system. TEM micrographies proved the fibers were obtained. FTIR analysis showed characteristic peaks of the oxidation products for the samples submitted to the treatm...
