title = "Rheological Properties of Jute-Based Cellulose Nanofibers under Different Ionic Conditions",
abstract = "Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were produced by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation and mechanical shearing of jute pulp. The cross section dimension of CNFs was determined by small-angle neuron scattering (SANS), yielding a width of about 5 nm and thickness of about 1.5 nm, which were further confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of NaCl concentration on the rheological properties of the jute-based CNF as a function of concentration was investigated. The viscosity of CNF suspensions was found to increase by addition of the monovalent NaCl, which exhibited a critical concentration behavior. However, the critical concentration value was highly dependent on the CNF concentration. The effect of the cation valency on the rheological properties was also investigated. It was found that both viscosity and stiffness of the CNF gel increased with increasing the valency of the cation.",
