Abstract:
The present invention relates to microfibrillated cellulose (“MFC”), in particular to microfibrillated cellulose, which is morphologically different from conventional MFC known in the art and/or which provides improved water retention properties and/or improved rheological properties, in particular increased zero shear viscosity, ηo, (also known as: “viscosity at rest”, i.e. viscosity in the absence of shear forces), in solution, in particular in polyethylene glycol (PEG) as solvent, vis-a-vis conventional MFC as known in the art.

Claim (Index 21):
The homogenizer for use in the manufacture of microfibrillated cellulose according to  claim 2 , wherein the microfibrillated cellulose has a water retention, of at least 80, optionally at least 100, wherein the water retention is measured by diluting the MFC samples to a 0.3% solids content in water and then centrifuging the samples at 1000 G for 15 minutes, wherein the clear water phase is separated from the sediment and the sediment is weighed, wherein the water holding capacity is given as (mV/mT)\u22121, where mV is the weight of the wet sediment and mT is the weight of dry WC analyzed.
