Effect of ball milling on cellulose nanoparticles structure obtained ...
However, findings show that the silicon dioxide (SiO 2) nanoparticle component is a physiological hazard. In our research, "selflubricating" microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was developed by a ballmilling treatment. Commercial MCC and undried MCC with 60% or 80% moisture content were ballmilled for 12 or 24 h.
