Negative results of growing titania nanotubes on cellulose nanocrystals – Effect of hydrothermal reaction

Abstract

Titania nanotubes (TiO 2 nanotubes or TNT) are grown hydrothermally on cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) synthesized from microcrystalline cellulose. It is observed that the CNC are lost during synthesis due to its low thermal stability. This negative result of metal growth on CNC and its influence on thermal degradation are reported here.
