Does anyone know of any literatures where the hydrodynamic size range of cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibers would fall within? The literature I have seen indicates actual lengths and diameters, however I am going to be using a zetasizer and obviously this gives the hydrodynamic diameter so I am trying to see what size the transition from nanocrystal to nanofiber would occur.
Dear Mr. Smit,
Please find the attached research article. The average values of hydrodynamic diameter of the CNC are well mentioned in it. The variations in hydrodynamic diameters are also studied in the attached research item. Moreover, the zeta potential and light scattering analysis technique, similar to one you are going to use, is utilized to acquire hydrodynamic diameters in the following research article. Best wishes

The DLS method gives the average hydrodynamic size of nanoparticles. If you measure the size of a nanoparticle in the shape of a ball, then you get the exact diameter. If you measure the size of a nanoparticle in the shape of a tube, then you get the average size between the size of the diameter of the tube and the length of the tube. The average fiber diameter you will not get. You need to use an optical microscope.
