본 연구에서는 분무건조 조건 및 계면활성제 첨가에 따른 리그노셀룰로오스 나노피브릴(lignocellulose nanofibril, LCNF)의 분무건조 수율 및 건조 LCNF의 형태학적 특성, 치수분포 및 수재분산성을 조사하였다. 원료로는 약 70-300 nm 직경을 지니는 섬유상의 LCNF를 사용하였으며, 분무건조 LCNF는 rod형 파티클의 형태학적 특성을 보였다. $140^{\circ}C$ 온도조건에서의 분무건조 수율이 가장 높았으며, 분무건조 LCNF의 입자크기 또한 가장 작았다. LCNF 현탁액의 농도가 감소할수록 또한 송풍량이 증가할수록 분무건조 수율 및 입자크기가 증가하였다. 또한, 계면활성제의 첨가로 건조 수율을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 첨가 비율이 증가할수록 평균입자크기가 감소하였다. 건조 LCNF의 입자 크기가 감소할수록, 물에서의 재분산성이 향상되었으며, 수현탁액의 여수시간이 증가하였다.

Lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) were prepared using a two-step deep eutectic solvent (DES) and enzymatic pretreatment followed by mechanical defibrillation, and we examined the effects of enzymatic pretreatment conditions on different characteristics of the LCNFs thus obtained. The LCNFs yielded using the two-step DES pretreatment (Enz-LCNF) exhibited a well-defibrillated entangled web-like structure with an average fiber diameter ranging from 15.7 to 20.4 nm. Furthermore, we found that the average diameter and filtration time of the Enz-LCNFs decreased with an increase in enzyme concentration and enzymatic treatment time, whereas we detected a concomitant reduction in the tensile strength of the Enz-LCNF sheets. The Enz-LCNFs were characterized by a typical cellulose I structure, thereby indicating that the enzymatic treatment causes very little damage to the crystalline form.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in micro- and nanoscopic morphology of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from various bioresources by investigating various mechanical milling systems. Mechanical milling in herbaceous bioresources was more effective than in woody bioresources, demonstrating lower energy consumption and finer morphology. The milling time to reach nanoscopic size was longer in woody bioresources than in herbaceous bioresources. Furthermore, at the same level of wet disk milling time, CNFs from herbaceous bioresources showed more slender morphology than those from woody bioresources. Tensile properties of nanopaper prepared from CNFs of herbaceous bioresources were higher than those of woody bioresources. The highest tensile strength was found to be 77.4 MPa in the nanopaper from Evening prim rose.
