In previous studies the amorphization of cellulose, in absence of depolymerization, was verified by grinding for 86 min followed by a XRD-measurement and comparing it to the literature. Therefor a Bruker D2 Phaser 2 nd Generation was used with a Cu Kα radiation (1,5406 Å). The measurements were taken in a 2-theta range from 8° to 60° with a measurement speed of 0,239°•(1.1 s) -1 using a background-free silicon sample holder.
