Tunable dialdehyde/dicarboxylate nanocelluloses by stoichiometrically optimized sequential periodate–chlorite oxidation for tough and wet shape recoverable aerogels

Sequential periodate-chlorite (PC) oxidation has been optimized stoichiometrically according to the non-crystalline content in cellulose to generate a variety of versatile C2,C3 dialdehyde/dicarboxylate nanocelluloses (NCs) while economizing chemical and shear force inputs. The robust primary sodium periodate (NaIO
