The absence of a universal method for isolating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) has prompted researchers to explore alternative approaches to traditional sulfuric acid hydrolysis. In this study, the authors continue their previous research by investigating CNC synthesis through cellulose solvolysis in...
