This study successfully synthesized Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from cotton using ultrasound-assisted acid hydrolysis, and comprehensively characterized the CNCs using FTIR, XRD, DTA, and TGA. The results showed that the synthesized CNCs exhibited good crystallinity and thermal properties.
This present work reports the synthesis of Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from cotton using an ultrasound -assisted acid hydrolysis. Further, the synthesized CNCs was comprehensively characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze surface functional groups and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in studying structural characteristics. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) have been used to study the thermal properties of CNCs. Morphology of CNCs was studied using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The crystallite size was found to be 10-50 nm using XRD data and the average particle size to be 221 nm using PSD analysis.
