The main sources of nanocellulose
Nanocellulose is a nano-scale material prepared by physical or chemical methods from natural cellulose. Its main sources include the following: Plant fiber: This is the most common source of nanocellulose. Plants such as wood, cotton, flax, bamboo, straw, sugar cane bagasse, etc. all contain a large amount of cellulose, and these plant fibers can be converted into nanocellulose through mechanical or chemical methods. Bacterial cellulose: Certain bacteria (such as Bacillus acetate) can produce cellulose through biosynthetic pathways under specific conditions, which can also be made into nanocellulose after treatment. Bacterial cellulose usually has higher purity and good performance. Algae cellulose: Some algae (such as kelp and red algae) also contain cellulose, which can be prepared into nanocellulose through extraction and nanoification techniques. Cellulose from animals: Although it is relatively rare, some animal materials (such as insect shells, chitin, etc.) can also obtain nanofibers after chemical treatment.

Characterize the molecular weight of cellulose with ionic liquids
The molecular weight cellulose, 1,4-β-glucan, is characterized by ionic liquids, and is present in large quantities in the cell walls of various plants and is the most important skeletal component of plants. As an inexhaustible and inexhaustible biopolymer, cellulose has been considered a raw material with future development prospects and sustainability in the chemical industry. In addition, cellulose also has the advantages of extremely strong reversibility, complete biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, high mechanical properties and structural designability. Cellulose-based materials have been widely used in various fields of human society, such as textiles, food, medicine, papermaking, engineering materials, biofuels and composite materials. Since cellulose is a polydispersed polymer, the molecular weight and polydispersity index (PDI) of cellulose-based materials have a great impact on its mechanical properties, crystallization properties, rheology properties, etc. For example, the tensile strength of regenerated cellulose fibers is positively correlated with the molecular weight of cellulose. In addition, high polymerization degree (

Crystal structure of nanocellulose
Nanocellulose is a nano-scale material made of cellulose with a variety of crystal structures. Cellulose is essentially a linear polysaccharide polymer composed of glucose molecules connected through β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The arrangement of cellulose crystals determines its crystal structure, which mainly includes the following types: 1. Characteristics of Cellulose I: Cellulose I is the main crystal structure of natural cellulose and exists in plants and bacteria. , algae and other organisms. Cellulose type I is further divided into two subtypes: cellulose Iα and cellulose Iβ. Cellulose Iα: mainly exists in bacteria and algae, and its crystal structure is a triacrylic crystal system. Cellulose Iβ: It is mainly found in higher plants and cotton, and its crystal structure is a monoclinic crystal system. Molecular arrangement: Hydrogen bonds between molecular chains make cellulose type I crystals have high rigidity and strength. 2. Cellulose

Preparation method of sulfonated modified nanocellulose
The preparation method of sulfated modified Nanocellulose usually includes the following steps: sulfonation reaction and post-treatment steps. Sulfonation modification can impart more functionality to nanocellulose, such as increasing its hydrophilicity, introducing negative charge, etc. The following is a typical preparation process: 1. Material preparation: Disperse the prepared nanocellulose in an appropriate amount of solvent (such as water, DMF, etc.) and prepare it into a uniform suspension. Selection of sulfonating agents: Commonly used sulfonating reagents include sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), chlorosulfonic acid (ClSO₃H), etc. 2. Sulfonation reaction: 3. At controlled temperature and time, mix the nanocellulose suspension with the sulfonation reagent to carry out the sulfonation reaction. Common reaction conditions are as follows: Sulfuric acid sulfonation: Perform at room temperature or slightly higher temperatures (such as 50-80°C) for several hours. Chlorosulfonic acid sulfonation: at lower temperatures (such as 0-5&d
