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 4):
The composite composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the nanocrystals are derived from a process comprising the steps of:\n performing a base hydrolysis step on a quantity of  Miscanthus Giganteus;  performing a bleaching step on a solid material recovered from the base hydrolysis step; performing an acid hydrolysis step on a solid material recovered from the bleaching step; and recovering cellulose nanocrystals from  Miscanthus Giganteus  after performing the acid hydrolysis step.
