Abstract:
Methods for isolating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from the plant  Miscanthus Giganteus  (MxG). Impressive yields are obtained through a combination of processing steps including base hydrolysis, bleaching and acid hydrolysis. MxG-CNCs are produced having high aspect ratios, are biorenewable and can be used for a wide range of applications such as nanofillers in composites. MxG-CNC-containing composites are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 15):
The composite according to  claim 14 , wherein the bleaching step comprises contacting acetic acid and one or more of sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite with the solid material recovered from the base hydrolysis step, wherein the one or more of the sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite are present in a concentration between about 0.5 and about 4 weight percent and the concentration of acetic acid is between about 0.2 and about 9 weight percent.
