Two fractions of fibers were obtained from the process with different characteristics in size distribution, chemical composition and crystallinity. Isolated solely from the acid hydrolysis was a fiber fraction comprising mainly of nano-sized diameters as observed via TEM analysis. It had crystalline characteristics according to WAXD and may not be fully composed of cellulose as observed using FTIR. Pectin and hemicellulose residues were observed throughout the FTIR spectra. The bulk fraction obtained after both 62 SNF SMF Alkaline 2 Acid Raw SF
chemical and mechanical treatment had a large diameter distribution with similar FTIR and WAXD characteristics as found in literature. Partial removal of hemicellulose and lignin was evident throughout the process as observed via FTIR and SEM analysis. Crystallinity of the bulk fraction lowered through each successive step suggesting the process may be too harsh on the sampled soy fibers obtained. The individualization for highly crystalline nanofibers would benefit from optimization of both the chemical and mechanical treatments. Size separation processes could also be employed to concentrate nanofibers present within the bulk fibers obtained. 63
