PREPARATION OF ULTRASONIC-ASSISTED HIGH CARBOXYLATE CONTENT CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS BY TEMPO OXIDATION

Cotton linter pulp was oxidized in the TEMPO-NaBr-NaClO system with ultrasonic treatment, and cellulose nanocrystals having high carboxylate content were produced directly. Results showed that the C6 primary hydroxyl group of cellulose fiber was converted to the carboxylate group, whose amount could...
