Abstract
A method for processing fibrous cellulosic material from algae comprising: (i) suspending the fibrous cellulosic material in water to form a suspension; and (ii) passing the suspension through at least one chamber having a large gap, at a high shear to produce cellulose nanofibrils. Also described are cellulose nanofibrils and cellulose nanocrystals, products, methods and uses of the same.
