Preparation of high crystallinity cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by ionic liquid solvolysis
High crystallinity cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were successfully prepared from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) by utilization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (BmimHSO4) as both catalyst and solvent. Interestingly, it was found that crystallinity of CNCs was improved with increase...
