Nanofibrillation of Wood Pulp Using a High-Speed Blender
Abstract
We report the successful use of a high-speed blender in nanofibrillating never-dried pulp to cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) with a uniform diameter of 15-20 nm. Pulp treated for 30 min in a blender showed the same degree of fibrillation with less damage to the CNF compared with that treated in a grinder. Observing the process of nanofibrillation clarified that the straw-like pulp was fibrillated in a very characteristic way, by forming many "balloon-like structures". As the balloons extended to the edges, the fibrils were rapidly individualized. However, the pulp fragments with ripped cell walls were split into finer fragments and gradually disintegrated into nanofibers. Changing the agitation speed and pulp concentration during the treatment revealed that the pulp concentration of 0.7 wt % at 37,000 rpm was the optimum fibrillation condition in this blender method. Through treatments in various NaCl solutions, the effect of the surface charge of CNF on the fibrillation was studied from the viewpoint of colloidal surface physics. It was found that repulsion due to the electric double layer of the CNF surface may play a critical role in the occurrence of fibrillation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
