The Progress of Nanocellulose in Types and Preparation Methods
Zhaoyi Zhou, Ying Li, Wei Zhou
Abstract
Nanocellulose is generally prepared from natural cellulose fermented by higher plants, seaweeds and microorganisms by using nano-chemical processes such as acid hydrolysis, mechanical treatment, oxidation treatment, and enzymatic degradation. This article starts with the definition and classification of nanocellulose, and focuses on the preparation process and method of nanocellulose.
