Why microcrystalline cellulose is easy to make powder, but nanocellulose is difficult to make powder
The physical properties and structural differences in microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and nanocellulose (NC) lead to their different ease of preparation into powders. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC): Microcrystalline cellulose is a polymer composed of the crystalline region portion of cellulose, with a short fiber length and a lower specific surface area. This structure makes microcrystalline cellulose have high stability and can be easily ground into a fine powder. Since the particles of microcrystalline cellulose are coarse and do not easily adhere to each other or form agglomerates, powders can be made by conventional drying and crushing methods. Nanocellulose (NC): Nanocellulose consists of smaller fibrous nanostructures, generally between 1-100 nanometers in diameter and can reach several microns in length. Its specific surface area is very large, resulting in a significant increase in surface energy. This high surface energy makes nanocellulose particles very easy to adhere to each other or form aggregates. Nanocellulose has a high level of

How to determine the molecular weight of cellulose by terminal group method
The basic principle of determining the molecular weight of cellulose by terminal group analysis is to quantify specific functional groups at the end of the polymer chain through chemical or physical methods, and then calculate the average molecular weight. The terminals of cellulose often contain groups such as hydroxyl groups (-OH), so molecular weight can be estimated by detecting the concentration of these terminal groups. Detailed steps: 1. Sample preparation Dissolve the cellulose sample in an appropriate solvent to ensure complete dissolution. Cellulose molecules are not easy to dissolve, and a suitable solvent system is required to choose, such as dimethylacetamide-lithium chloride system (DMAc/LiCl), or alkaline aqueous solution. 2. The commonly used methods for calibration of terminal groups in chemical reactions include esterification or acylation reaction, which modify the hydroxyl group (-OH) at the terminal of cellulose molecules. For example, acetylation reaction is used to react with the terminal hydroxyl group to form an acetate. The product generated after the reaction is then determined by titration or other quantitative analysis techniques, thereby indirectly calculating the concentration of the terminal hydroxyl group.
