CONTROLLED ENZYMOLYSIS PREPARATION OF NANOCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE FROM PRETREATED COTTON FIBERS
Natural cotton fibers were pretreated with DMSO, NaOH, or ultrasonic waves and hydrolyzed by cellulase (Trichoderma vride G) to prepare nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). The as-prepared samples were characterized by TEM, DLS, XRD, and FT-IR. The influences of the pretreatment on the yield and morphol...
