Cellulose microspheres and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A method of manufacturing cellulose microspheres is proposed which is high in productivity, and takes into consideration the safety and environmental aspects. The cellulose microspheres are manufactured by mixing at least three parts by weight of a water-soluble polysaccharide with an alkaline cellulose solution containing one part by weight of cellulose to prepare a minute dispersion in which are formed minute droplets made of cellulose-rich phase, and coagulating and regenerating the minute droplets.
