Effect of Cellulose Characteristic and Hydrolyze Conditions on Morphology and Size of Nanocrystal Cellulose Extracted from Wheat Straw

In this paper, preparation and characterization of cellulose and nanocrystalline celluloses (NCC) and the effect of cellulose characteristic and hydrolyze conditions on the morphology and size of the obtained NCC will be discussed. Two different celluloses were prepared by two procedures, A and B, then the cellulose obtained was hydrolyzed under the same conditions. The result showed that the morphology and size of the nanocrystals obtained are not only attributed to the cellulose sources, but also to the hydrolyze conditions.
