Thermodynamic characteristics of cellulose samples having different crystallinity (X) and type of crystalline allomorph (CI to CIV) have been studied. Using methods of combustion calorimetry and DSC, the accurate values of standard enthalpy,
same sample [different values of CrI from 0.57 to 0.93 can be obtained 23, 24]. Crystallinity index of chitosan samples calculated by different methods can also vary within a wide range from 0.4 to 0.8 [20, 25-27]. Thus, results about the crystallinity of chitin and chitosan samples based on estimation of CrI are doubtful.

The amorphization process during ball milling can be seen from the images of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in Fig. 2a, which were taken from samples milled for different lengths of time. The TEM images show that the size and number of NiZr crystals decrease with increasing milling time, and a full amorphization is achieved after ...

AbstractA three-stage wood milling process was investigated leading to coarse, fine and amorphization of milled wood (MW) as a pretreatment for enzymatic wood hydrolysis. An eccentric vibratory tube mill (EVTM) and a spring suspended vibratory tube mill (SSVTM) were found to be suitable for wood cellulose amorphization. Both methods gave rise to …
TEM images for the ZnO samples before and after milling (Figure 5A2–E2) were also obtained.These images display similar trends to those observed by SEM images (Figure 3 A1–E1).The sample milled for 50 hours (Figure 5E2) contains ultrafine particles of sizes in the range 20–30 nm, which are close to those observed by SEM (Figure 3E1).These sizes are …
Phase formation during high energy ball milling may be driven by thermodynamics, if the resulting phase is an equilibrium phase of lower energy than the starting materials. However, it is also possible to create non-equilibrium, or metastable, phases by milling. In these cases the driving force for metastable phase formation comes from …
The dilute acid (0.05 M H2SO4) hydrolysis at 175 °C of samples comprised of varying fractions of crystalline (α-form) and amorphous cellulose was studied. The amorphous content, based on XRD and CP/MAS NMR, and the product (glucose) yield, based on HPLC, increased by as much as a factor of 3 upon ball milling. These results are interpreted in terms …

Amorphization of βCD by milling at room temperature is predictable, as milling is carried out at a temperature sufficiently below the Tg of βCD (Tg ≈ 292°C) . The enlargement of the Bragg peaks is explained by the reduction in the size of the crystallites and slight distortions of the crystal lattice generated by ball milling.

The ball milling technique has been successfully applied to the synthesis of various materials such as equilibrium intermetallic phases, amorphous compounds, nanocrystalline materials, or metastable crystalline phases. However, how the phase composition and nanoscale microstructure evolute during ball milling in various materials is still controversial due to the …
Abstract This study investigated the characteristics of cellulose Avicel PH-101 (NPA) and Avicel samples treated by either ball milling (BMA) or ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (ILA), which alter cellulose structural properties specifically and, consequently, affect the enzymatic hydrolysis of these materials differently. All materials were …
