Challenges in synthesis and analysis of asymmetrically grafted cellulose nanocrystals via atom transfer radical polymerization
(2021-06-01)
Article
Open AccessWhen cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are isolated from cellulose microfibrils, the parallel arrangement of the cellulose chains in the crystalline domains is retained so that all reducing end-groups (REGs) point to one ... -
Liquid crystalline properties of symmetric and asymmetric end-grafted cellulose nanocrystals
(2021-07-23)
Article
Open AccessThe hydrophilic polymer poly[2-(2-(2-methoxy ethoxy)ethoxy)ethylacrylate] (POEG3A) was grafted onto the reducing end-groups (REGs) of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) allomorphs, and their liquid crystalline properties were ... -
Patience is a virtue: self-assembly and physico-chemical properties of cellulose nanocrystal allomorphs
(2020)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are bio-based rod-like nanoparticles with a quickly expanding market. Despite the fact that a variety of production routes and starting cellulose sources are employed, all industrially produced ... -
Recent advances and an industrial perspective of cellulose nanocrystal functionalization through polymer grafting
(2019-04)
Article
Open AccessCellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are an emerging nanomaterial for applications ranging from coatings and construction to adhesives and biomedical devices. Owing to their high aspect ratio, stiffness, and reinforcing potential, ...
