AB  - Bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs) were extracted from nata de coco waste 
      and underwent sulphuric acid (H(2)SO(4)) hydrolysis for use as a reinforcement 
      giving thermal and dimensional stability to polyether block amide (PEBAX) as a 
      polymer matrix for the fabrication of BCNCs/PEBAX microporous membranes. The 
      H(2)SO(4)-hydrolysis of BCNCs yielded rod-like/needle-like BCNCs and negatively 
      charged surfaces, resulting from the generated surface sulfate groups on the 
      bacterial cellulose (BC), which may be competent for numerous applications. The 
      non-solvent induced phase separating (NIPS) and subsequent film casting methods 
      were used to prepare the BCNCs/PEBAX microporous membranes. The obtained films 
      were characterized with regards to their structure in terms of the content of 
      crystalline phases, as well as their ionic transport and performance at elevated 
      temperatures. The presence of the BCNCs fillers resulted in a good thermal and 
      dimensional stability up to 150  degrees C and correlated with no membrane shrinkage. For 
      NIPS membranes, the formation of a rigid cellulosic network within the matrix was 
      emphasized and attributed to the thermal stabilization at temperatures above the 
      melting temperature. In addition, the wettability, ionic conductivity, and 
      thermal stability were investigated in BCNCs/PEBAX membranes filled with 
      different amounts of BCNCs. Thus, the BCNCs/PEBAX membranes derived via NIPS had 
      a remarkably good ionic conductivity, within the range of 10(-2)-10(-3) S/cm, 
      with up to 56.8% porosity. Such porous membranes are considered as an important 
      and interesting candidate for the replacement of the commercial polyolefin-based 
      microporous separator in lithium-ion batteries due to their superior 
      electrochemical performances and the observed reinforcement effect.
