Degree of Oxidation (DO)
• DO was determined by using acid-base titration and FTIR
• Excellent correlation was found between these two methods
• Results are in good agreement with the recent literature (Montanari et al., Macromolecules, 2005, 38, 1665-1671, Saito et al., Biomacromolecules, 2006, 7, 1687-1691)
Strong Acid – Weak Acid Titration
50 mg of dry TEMPO-oxidized material was suspended in 15 ml of 0.01 M HCl.After 10 min of stirring the suspension was titrated with 0.01M NaOH.

• In general, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions have long been popular in the generation of carbohydrate mimetics in the homogeneous reaction environment.1
• The reaction has gained increasing attention after discovering that the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and terminal alkynes can be catalysed by Cu(I) salts.2,3
• Several authors have described the use of this novel click-chemistry concept for the generation of carbohydrate mimetics and derivatives.4,5,6

Huisgen Cycloaddition
• Cellulose nanoplatelet gels (Click chemistry)• Grafting click precursors onto TEMPO-oxidized CNCs• Huisgen reaction (1,3-dipolar cycloaddition)
The Huisgen Cycloaddition is the reaction of a dipolarophile with a 1,3-dipolar compound that leads to 5-membered (hetero)cycles.

Summary
The primary hydroxyl groups in cellulose nanocrystals were first selectively oxidized to carboxylic acids which were further used as reactive sites for the amidation reactions to provide the precursors necessary for the Click chemistry reaction.
Click-chemistry has been utilized for the preparation of new gel-like cellulose nanomaterials.
Benzoylation of CNCs allows complete dissolution of material into THF and makes GPC analysis possible
