Carboxymethyl Cellulose Enhanced Production of Cellulose Nanofibrils

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were produced by high-pressure homogenization from kraft pulp in the presence of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) of varying molecular weights. CNF pretreated with 250 kD CMC exhibited the maximum specific surface area (SSA) of 641 m<sup>2</sup>/g, which is compa...
