Abstract

HCl gas hydrolysis of a bacterial cellulose (BC) aerogel followed by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical-mediated oxidation was used to produce hydrolyzed BC with carboxylate groups, which subsequently disintegrated into a stable dispersion of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The degree of polymerization was successfully reduced from 2160 to 220 with a CNC yield of >80%.
