Impact of the Surface Properties of cellulose nanocrystals on the crystallization kinetics of poly (butylene succinate)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)The hydrophilicity of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a major challenge for their processing with hydrophobic polymers and matrices. As a result, many surface modifications have been proposed to hydrophobize CNCs. The ... -
Nano-Brushes of alcohols grafted onto cellulose nanocrystals for reinforcing poly (Butylene succinate): Impact of Alcohol chain length on interfacial adhesion
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-01)Despite the many interesting properties of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), their hydrophilicity is one of the main challenges for their processing with hydrophobic polymers and matrices. To overcome this challenge, this ... -
A review of the surface modification of cellulose and nanocellulose using aliphatic and aromatic mono-and di-isocyanates
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-01)Nanocellulose has been subjected to a wide range of chemical modifications towards increasing its potential in certain fields of interest. These modifications either modulated the chemistry of the nanocellulose itself or ...
