Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are an emerging nanomaterial for applications ranging from
coatings and construction to adhesives and biomedical devices. Owing to their high aspect …

Over the past 10 years, the grafting of polymers from the surface of cellulose nanocrystals
(CNCs) has gained substantial interest in both academia and industry due to the rapidly …

Polylactide (PLA) is considered as an environmentally friendly substitute of various
petroleum-based polymers on account of its renewability, biocompatibility, biodegradability …

In this work the thermally-activated shape memory response of biodegradable
nanocomposites based on PLA/PCL blend reinforced with different type of cellulose …

The application of renewable nanomaterials, like nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), has
recently been widely studied by many researchers. NCC has many benefits such as high …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and starch nanocrystals (SNC) were grafted by ozone-
initiated free-radical polymerisation of styrene in a heterogeneous medium. Surface …

The activation (dehydration) of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) toward surface “brush”
polymerization is accomplished either by freeze drying or solvent exchange. However, the …

We report the preparation of poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate)
polyHIPE composite foams through the use of silane functionalized cellulose nanocrytals …

Inorganic/organic nanocomposites are a class of materials that have garnered a flurry of
research because of their unusually independent tandem or synergistic physical and …

The present work studied the possibility of using phthalimide for surface modification of
cellulose nanofibers (CNF). The modification was carried out in 96/4 (v/v) water/acetic acid …
