Table 1. A list of the properties of raw cellulose and synthesized cellulose particles. Weight fraction of initial cellulose against BDO feed (C/B), reaction time of second stage (R_t), weight fraction of polymer (W_g), hydrodynamic diameter (D_h) and 5% weight loss temperature (T_5%)^a.

^aAll samples were synthesized with a catalyst concentration of 5 ppm.

^bYield against the initial amount of cellulose.

^cNot detectable by DTG peak analysis.

^dNotation by producer.

^eMeasurement not possible due to the sedimentation.
