colloidal MCC is a high-purity cellulose derivative with unique colloidal properties, produced through:
Acid hydrolysis (using 2.5N HCl at 105°C for 15 mins)
Or steam explosion (at 245°C, 2.8MPa for 2 mins)
Key structural advantages:
Crystallinity index: 75-85% (vs 40-60% for regular cellulose)
Surface area: 150-300 m²/g (measured by BET method)
Particle size: 90% <50μm (laser diffraction analysis)
