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 17):
The homogenizer for use in the manufacture of microfibrillated cellulose according to  claim 2 , wherein a length and a diameter of the fibrils and fibril bundles of the microfibrillated cellulose is reduced vis-\u00e0-vis the respective length and diameter of the cellulose fibers and fiber bundles making up the cellulose that was used a starting product;\n wherein the dispersion of said microfibrillated cellulose in polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) has a zero shear viscosity, \u03b7 0 , of at least 5000 Pa\u00b7s, optionally at least 6000 Pa\u00b7s, further optionally at least 7000 Pa\u00b7s, as measured at a solids content of the MFC of 0.65% and 35% H 2 O.
