Cationic surface functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals
Abstract
The surface of cellulose nanocrystals, prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cotton, was rendered cationic through a reaction with epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. The resultant nanocrystal suspensions were characterized by ζ-potential, conductometric titration and polarized light microscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed no change in the size or shape of the nanocrystals, but the functionalization process reversed the surface charge and led to a reduction of the total surface charge density. These modifications led to stable aqueous suspensions of nanocrystalline cellulose with unexpected gelling and rheological properties. Shear birefringence was observed, but no liquid crystalline chiral nematic phase separation was detected.

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.
