  • METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS FROM MISCANTHUS GIGANTEUS AND COMPOSITES THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20210139613
    Abstract: Methods for isolating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from the plant Miscanthus Giganteus (MxG). Impressive yields are obtained through a combination of processing steps including base hydrolysis, bleaching and acid hydrolysis. MxG-CNCs are produced having high aspect ratios, are biorenewable and can be used for a wide range of applications such as nanofillers in composites. MxG-CNC-containing composites are also disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 4, 2020
    Publication date: May 13, 2021
    Inventors: Stuart Rowan, Mo Hunsen, Amanda Way
  • Method for production of cellulose nanocrystals from and composites therefrom
    Patent number: 10793647
    Abstract: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from the plant Miscanthus Giganteus (MxG) and a matrix material are present in a composite composition. Impressive yields of MxG-CNCs are obtained through a combination of processing steps including base hydrolysis, bleaching and acid hydrolysis. MxG-CNCs are produced having high aspect ratios, are biorenewable and can be used for a wide range of applications such as nanofillers in composites.
