The Segal method gives comparative index of crystallinity various natural celluloses, e.g., wood pulp, cotton, and flax fibers and celluloses, micro crystalline and powder celluloses, etc. However, this method is not intended for modified celluloses having CII, CHI, and CIV crystalline allomorphs. 

Another activation treatment, suitable for most celluloses (although with great variation of the time required, 1 to 48 h) is polar solvent displacement at room temperature. The polymer is treated with a series of solvents, ending with the one that will be employed in the derivatization step. Thus, cellulose is treated with the following sequence of solvents, before it is dissolved in LiCl/DMAc water, methanol, and DMAc [37,45-48]. This method, however, is both laborious, needs ca. one day for micro crystalline cellulose, and expensive, since 25 mL of water 64 mb of methanol, and 80 mb of DMAc are required to activate one gram of cellulose. Its use may be reserved for special cases, e.g., where cellulose dissolution with almost no degradation is relatively important [49].

It is not easy to determine the differences in structural selectivity among all possible derivatives. A rationalization based on an electronic effect [18] and the length of the acyl substituent on cellulose were attempted [42]. CTA-I (micro-crystalline cellulose triacetate) is very specific and can be used for resolution of racemic compounds both having aromatic rings and carbonyl groups. On the other hand, a CTA-II (cellulose triacetate) CSP has a different selectivity. Both... 

Apart from the sorbents already mentioned in connection with HPTLC pre-coated layers, a micro-crystalline cellulose has also been produced in an average particle size and a narrow particle size distribution suitable for HPTLC (9.). HPTLC pre-coated plates cellulose P 254 s (E. Merck, Darmstadt), composed of this microcrystalline cellulose, were used to separate Trevespan 6058. This is a mixture of the substances ioxynil (3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxy-benzo-nitrile), flurenol (9-hydroxyfluorenecarboxylic acid) and MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). For comparison purposes Trevespan 6038 was also separated on HPTLC pre-coated plates silica gel 60 F 254 (E. Merck, Darmstadt). 

A micro-crystalline cellulose (E. Merk) was used as the starting material. A commercial catalyst (N1-328S, Engel-Hard) was used as the nickel catalyst. It was crushed to 60-200 mesh, and reduced using hydrogen gas at 350 C for 4 hour before reactions.

The combination of copovidone with sucrose and micro crystalline cellulose is mentioned for vitamin C chewable tablets in the commentary to the German Standard Generic Formulations as show in Table 175 [460]. 

Cellulose is found not to be uniformly crystalline. However, the ordered regions are extensively distributed throughout the material and these regions are called crystallites [27]. Cellulose exists in the plant cell wall in the form of thin threads with an indefinite length. Such threads are cellulose micro-fibrils, playing an important role in the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of plant fibers and wood. 

Modified cellulose supports are also used in TLC, either as fibres or chemically modified micro-crystalline powders. The most widely known is DEAE-cellulose, a phase fairly basic containing diethylaminoethyl groups. Other polar phases, with ion exchange properties can be employed for the separation of ampholytes.

That actually triacetylated chain sections were present in the amorphous fringes of the partially acetylated samples was shown as follows. The samples were heated while under stress in vapour of boiling methanol. This caused the amorphous triacetate fringes of the gel to partially recrystalli e, and an X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained revealing that a mixture of crystalline cellulose and crystalline triacetate was present. Reactions of this kind may be designated as micro-heterogeneous reactions. 

There are basically two families of nanosized cellulosic particles (1) Nanofibrillar cellulose, which includes mechanically isolated microfibrils, chemically isolated microfibrils (TEMPO-oxidation), bacterial cellulose and can be considered spaghetti-like, and (2) Cellulose nanocrystals - rods of highly crystalline cellulose which are isolated by acid hydrolysis. Cellulose nanocrystals are represented in literature by synonyms like cellulose whiskers, cellulose nanowhiskers, cellulose microfibrils, micro-crystalline cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose because they are not yet commercially available. These are needle-shaped (100 run to 200 run X 10 nm), highly crystalline, strong (E - 150 GPa) and form liquid crystal suspensions. 

As previously mentioned, natural fibres present a multi-level organization and consist of several cells formed out of semi-crystalline oriented cellulose micro fibrils. Each microfibril can be considered as a string of cellulose crystallites, linked along the chain axis by amorphous domains (Fig. 19.10) and having a modulus close to the theoretical limit for cellulose. They are biosynthesized by enzymes and deposited in a continuous fashion. A similar structure is reported for chitin, as discussed in Chapter 25. Nanoscale dimensions and impressive mechanical properties make polysaccharide nanocrystals, particularly when occurring as high aspect ratio rod-like nanoparticles, ideal candidates to improve the mechanical properties of the host material. These properties are profitably exploited by Mother Nature.

The layer thickness of the dry cellulose is never the same as that set on the spreader. A rule of thumb says that cellulose layers shrink to about half of the slit breadth set on the apparatus. Dry layers of about 0.12 mm are particularly good for most separations and reveal most convincingly the advantages of thin-layer chromatography. Thicker layers up to 0.6 mm of fibrous cellulose powder and up to 1 mm of micro-crystalline powder, can be made without cracks.
