Effects of polymorph transformation via mercerisation on microcrystalline cellulose fibres and isolation of nanocrystalline cellulose fibres

Cellulose I can be irreversible transformed into cellulose II via mercerisation or regeneration treatments. In the past few decades, mercerisation was used mainly to improve fibre properties for textile industries. A few studies have focused on the effects of mercerisation treatment on the cellulose...
