Effect of mechanical treatment on properties of cellulose nanofibrils produced from bleached hardwood and softwood pulps

Bleached hardwood and softwood South African kraft pulps were passed through a commercially available micro grinder for varying number of passes and the properties of the resultant pulps were assessed periodically using microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray crystallograph...
