Setting priorities in CNF particle size measurement: What is needed vs. what is feasible

Robert J. Moon et al.

Summary: The International Organization for Standardization is exploring the development of standard methods for measuring the size and distribution of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). This paper provides an overview of available measurement techniques, survey responses from CNF companies and researchers, and outcomes from an international workshop on CNF measurement and standardization. The study recommends revising the definition of CNFs, developing sample preparation and measurement guidelines, and further research on hierarchal branched CNF structures and automated image analysis.

Redispersion and structural change evaluation of dried microfibrillated cellulose

Luiz Eduardo Silva et al.

Summary: Commercializing dried microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) has been a challenge due to aggregation issues. This study found that drying/redispersion cycles at higher temperatures led to more severe aggregation, while milder action at room temperature once-drying maintained cellulose quality.

Comparison of unique effects of two contrasting types of cellulose nanomaterials on setting time, rheology, and compressive strength of cement paste

Somayeh Nassiri et al.

Summary: The study compared the effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) on cement properties, showing that CNFs increase viscosity while CNCs reduce viscosity and provide longer slump retention. Both types of CNMs increased compressive strength, but their optimum amount and effects on setting times varied. This highlights the importance of properly specifying the type of cellulose nanomaterials for concrete applications.
