Title:
TOBACCO-DERIVED NANOCELLULOSE MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023017835
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide cellulose nanomaterials made or derived from tobacco and methods for the production thereof, wherein the tobacco-derived cellulose nanomaterials can be employed in various industrial applications such as film forming applications and solution thickening technologies, in particular, the disclosure is directed to methods for preparing tobacco-derived cellulose nanomaterials using less fibrillation cycles than in the production of wood pulp.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a method for preparing tobacco derived nanocellulose material comprising receiving a tobacco pulp in a dilute form such that the tobacco pulp is a tobacco pulp suspension with a consistency of less than about 5%; and mechanically fibrillating the tobacco pulp suspension to generate a tobacco derived nanocellulose material having at least one average particle size dimension in the range of about 1 nm to about 100 nm.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
