Nano-Tubular Cellulose for Bioprocess Technology Development
Figure 1
Characterization of nano-tubular cellulose (NC).
(a) SEM micrographs of NC produced by delignification of sawdust with NaOH (scale bar in 1, 2, 5, 6 corresponds to 20 µm, while in 3 to 50 µm and in 4 to 100 µm). (b) NC average pore diameter and cumulative surface area of the pores. (c) Spectra from X-ray diffractometry of blank sample and NC sample. (d) Crystallinity and crystallite size of NC calculated using spectra from Figure 2C.
