Effect of Ball Milling on Structure of Microcrystalline Cellulose

Authors:

Abstract
The main objective of this work was investigate the effect of ball milling on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) structure. FTIR results shows there are no obvious different in the function groups of between neat and ball milling MCC. Both FTIR and WAXD analysis indicate that the crystalline of MCC samples are change with the ball milling time. The WAXD results also show MCC change from typical cellulose IV to amorphous state when ball milled for 6h, and after 30h the characteristic shape ball milling transformed into cellulose II.
