I am preparing crystalline nanocellulose in my laboratory. But I have a problem. How do I know if crystalline nanocellulose is is formed or not? I have a product in my hand but I want to know whether the product is nanocrystaliine cellulose or no. Thank you for your help

how do we do dialysis on synthesis of crystalline nanocellulose from date palm fiber? and what is the purpose of it?

How much quantity of sulphuric acid is required for acid hydrolysis of chemically purified cellulose powder to produce crystalline nanocellulose?

Hello,

I am preparing a 3 wt% PVA solution, to be reinforced with crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) and silica, so the solution is very viscous, that the magnetic stirrer can't operate, and the over head mixer is not very effective apparently. Thus, I thought I might dilute the solution with known amount of water, assuming it will evaporate when drying the composite. So my question is, will that dilution affect any of the final properties of the composite? Or else, any advice for good mixing for high viscous solutions.

Thank you,

Hesham
