2.2.2. Disintegration of Cationic Bagasse into Nanofibers

Mechanical defibrillationdecomposition of cationic bagasse was performed with a high-pressure homogenizer (AH-PILOT 2018, ATS Nano Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou, China). The cationic bagasse was prepared as a 1 wt% suspension and subsequently decomposed in the high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure of 1000 bar for 30 min. The cationic bagasse directly entered the chamber of the high-pressure homogenizer and was easily decomposed to obtain cationic lignocellulose nanofibers (CLCNF). The nanofiber samples obtained with GTAC dosages of 10 g, 20 g and 30 g were named CLCNF-1, CLCNF-2 and CLCNF-3, respectively. The control group required pre-mechanical pulverization by shearing to enter the chamber of the high-pressure homogenizer for disintegration, otherwise it would block the narrow chamber. The nanofiber sample of the control group was named LCNF.
