Cellulose nanocrystals from rice and oat husks and their application in aerogels for food packaging.
Jean Paulo de Oliveira,Graziella Pinheiro Bruni,Shanise Lisie Mello El Halal,Fabiano Cleber Bertoldi,Alvaro Renato Guerra Dias,Elessandra da Rosa Zavareze +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that agroindustrial residues have promising applications in various industrial fields and could be used as aerogel absorbers of water in food packaging and may have influenced the lowest water absorption capacity of the aerogels of eucalyptus cellulose nanocrystals.

Homogeneous suspensions of individualized microfibrils from TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation of native cellulose.
TL;DR: Never-dried native celluloses (bleached sulfite wood pulp, cotton, tunicin, and bacterial cellulose) were disintegrated into individual microfibrils after oxidation mediated by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radical followed by a homogenizing mechanical treatment.

Native cellulose: a composite of two distinct crystalline forms.
TL;DR: Multiplicities in the resonances of chemically equivalent carbons, which appear in the solid-state carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of native celluloses, have been examined at high resolution and are consistent with the existence of two distinct crystalline forms.

Masao Doi,Sam F. Edwards +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rheological constitutive equation of a condensed polymer system is presented based on the primitive chain model presented in Parts 1 and 2, and it predicts a stress superposition law in the regime of nonlinear viscoelasticity.
