The drying process in typical pulp production generates strong hydrogen bonding between cellulose microfibrils after the removal of the matrix, which seems to make it difficult to obtain thin and uniform cellulose nanofibers. In the present study, we tried the fibrillation of pulps under alkaline condition in order to obtain fine nanofibers from dried pulps.
