- We have characterized the dissolved state of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in cold alkali [2.0 M NaOH(aq)] solutions using a combination of small angle X-ray (SAXS) and static light scattering (SLS), (Formula presented.)H NMR, NMR self-diffusion, and rheology experiments.

The scattering data are consistent with fractal cellulose aggregates of micrometre size having a mass fractal dimension (Formula presented.). At 25(Formula presented.) the solution structure remains unchanged on the time scale of weeks.
