process for making microfibrillated cellulose, homogenizer, microfibrillated cellulose and gel-like dispersion of microfibrillate cellulose

摘要

The present invention relates to microfibrillated cellulose ("cmf"), in particular microfibrillated cellulose that is morphologically different from conventional cmf known in the art and / or which provides improved water retention properties and / or improved rheological properties, in particular. improved zero shear viscosity, 0 (also known as "resting viscosity", ie viscosity in the absence of shear forces), in solution, in particular polyethylene glycol (peg) as solvent vis-à-vis to conventional cmf as known in the art.
