Abstract In this research, the effect of cellulose nanocrystals on the functional properties of wood cement composite panels has been investigated. Variable factors in this research are the percentage of nano in (five levels of 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 1%), the weight of cement and also the ratio of mixing wood chips with cement in three levels (1 to 3, 1 To 3.5 and 1 to 4) dry weight of cement. In this research, poplar wood and Portland cement type 2 have been used as fixed agents. In total, 15 treatments and 3 replicates of each treatment were made. Preparation of sample in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 634) and measurement of physical and mechanical properties including flexural modulus, modulus of elasticity in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 310), internal adhesion in accordance with the standard (DIN / EN 319), thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours of immersion in water was performed according to the standard (DIN / EN 317). Increased cellulose nanocrystals improved physical and mechanical strength. SEM microscopic images were taken from the samples to examine the microstructural properties of the composite. In the pictures, it was found that by adding cellulose nanocrystals, we see an improvement in the disintegration of nanocomposite materials and as a result, an increase in mechanical and physical properties

In this study, the comparison of the use two combination of additives including the use of nano silica with cationic starch and the use of nano cellulose with cationic poly acrylamide on the physical and strength properties of cotton based paper. For this purpose, the pulp of the chemical pulp of bleached cotton fibers is made with a 45˚RS grade peroxide and then the additives with specified conditions (cationic starch 1 and 1.5%, nano silica 0.3 and 0.7%, nano cellulose 1, 2 and 3% and cationic poly acrylamide 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7%) added to it and in the end 70 grams of handsheets were made. Similary, the paper was evaluated for physical and strength properties. The results indicated that the combination of cationic poly acrylamide and nano cellulose did not have much effect on increasing the majority of chemical pulp strength of cotton. As the reduction density, tensile strength, strength to tearing and no signification effect on strength to cutting. While the use of cationic and nano silica starches has significantly increased the strength and density properties of pulp paper significantly. Therefore, considering the results of physical and physical tests, it is possible to use the combination of cationic starch and nano silica to increase the chemical properties of cotton pulp.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are new class of cellulose materials that find wide applications in various research areas over the past two decades. These nanoparticles are usually made by acid hydrolysis of cellulose substances such as wood, cotton, Starch etc. The main aim of this study is to find the optimal conditions for obtaining an aqueous stable colloid suspension of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) from α-cellulose with a high-yield procedure. Therefore various conditions of acid hydrolysis were evaluated as reaction temperature and reaction time. The percentage of yield was calculated for all suspensions. The morphology of the prepared CNC was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) and the crystallinity was measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that highest yield of CNC (88%), was achieved from the reaction condition of 60 minutes at 60 °C. Generally, rod-like shape crystals achieved from α-cellulose with an average size of 35-50 nm and high crystallinity (92%) can be make it to a convenient and competitive source for the production of cellulose nanocrystal for various industries.

Dissolution and Cellulose-Nylon composites preparation in liquid phase was studied. BMIMCl ionic liquid was synthesized in the laboratory and was used to perform the dissolution purpose. After the dissolution of the polymers, Cellulose and Cellulose-Nylon composite films were prepared and processed. Then the transparency, water absorption and thickness swelling, water vapor permeability and tensile strength of the composite were determined. Further characterization was performed using SEM and FTIR techniques. Results showed that both polymers were compatibly dissolved in Ionic liquid and homogenously blended which indicates chemical bonding was established between the polymers. Transparency, water absorption and thickness swelling decreased and water vapor permeability of the composites increased compared to pure cellulosic film. Also, mechanical strength, Young's modulus and strain at break point of the composite were decreased compared to reference cellulosic film.

Okaliptus is a fast –growing and light – liking tree that its trunk is smooth and is shelled spontaneously. n a short time its diameter and height increase.for its fast growing. So that turing it into things is difficult Fiber s traction is high and deksity is 0.55 to 0.58 a square centimeter. The samples were prepared from the branches and trunk of Ocalyptus Kameldolensis with the average old of three years, from Jiroft region in Kerman province. After ordaining the age and having samples from the same age , some discs were prepared for cutting to measure fibers.Making ready and suspension of fibers were done in Fraklin method .Measuring amaout of lignin was done to standard no: T222- om – 88 and TAPPI guide directions . Measuring cellulose was done according to Nitric Acid method and due to standard No : T264 – om – 88 , and TAPPI guide directions. Due to results the length of trunk fibers was 811.36 and branches was 845.68 micro meters.Diameter of trunk fibers is 19.3 but branches 15.64, these amounts don,t have a meaningful differnce the level of 5&1 percent . Diameter of the carity of rrunk fibers was 10.71, but branches 3.44 at the level of 5&1 percent , they don,t have a meaningful difference. The amount of extracted articles of trunk is 4/5 but branches 2.3 percent ,and amount of lignin in trunk was 35.66 but in the branch 24.66, and amount of cellulose in trunk was 55.66 and the branch 46.81 percent which at the level of 5&1 percent have a meaningful difference . The amount of Ashes from trunk was 0.73 but from the branch 0.88 that at the level of 5&1 percent , don,t have a meaningful defference.

In order to investigate The properties of wood eight-nineteen-years- old trees of Eucalyptus microtheca from De-hnow exprimental Plantation located 160 Km. South west of Shiraz were selected randomly and fell two from each of the four blocks. From each tree, 10 cm thick cross-sectional discs at several different heights (3 metres intervals) were cut and together with remaining boles then transfered to the Alborz Research Center-Karaj for laboratory studies.
