Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were isolated from rice straw (RS), wheat straw (WS), and barley straw (BS) by using acid hydrolysis method. They were fibrous in shape with length (L) of 120-800nm and width (W) of 10-25nm, aspect ratio (L/W) of 18, 16 and 19, crystallinity index (CI) of 0.663, 0.710, and 0.634, and yield of 64, 75, and 69wt% for RS, WS, and BS respectively. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/CNC composite films were prepared with...
