A molecular scale analysis of TEMPO-oxidation of native cellulose molecules

The native cellulose, through TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical)-mediated oxidation, can be converted into individual fibers. It has been observed that oxidized fibers disperse completely and individually in water. It is believed that electrostatic repulsive forces might be respons...
