A practical procedure for synthesizing cellulose nanospheres with sizes ranging from 60 to over 570 nm was developed. This methodology provides a near linear relationship between cellulose nanoparticle size and treatment time. The hydrolyzed nanocelluloses are predominantly cellulose II polymorphic crystalline structure and relatively uniform in particle size. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
