Water hyacinth is an invasive plant that can be converted to high value cellulose nanofibers. This study presents battery separators prepared from water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres (WHCNF) via a freeze-thawing crosslinking method, using polyethylen...

The Use of Sedimentation for the Estimation of Aspect Ratios of Charged Cellulose Nanofibrils (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Onyianta, A. J., & Williams, R. (2018). The Use of Sedimentation for the Estimation of Aspect Ratios of Charged Cellulose Nanofibrils. In R. Fangueiro, & S. Rana (Eds.), Advances in Natural Fibre Composites (195-203). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64641-1_17

In this study, the aspect ratios of carboxymethylated and TEMPO-oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were estimated by gel point analysis using a sedimentation approach. The flocculation and subsequent sedimentation of the CNF aqueous suspensions, wh... Read More about The Use of Sedimentation for the Estimation of Aspect Ratios of Charged Cellulose Nanofibrils.
