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 ... -
Chemical modification of reducing end-groups in cellulose nanocrystals
(2021-01-04)
Article
Open AccessNative plant cellulose has an intrinsic supramolecular structure. Consequently, it can be isolated as nanocellulose species, which can be utilized as building blocks for renewable nanomaterials. The structure of cellulose ... -
Grafting polymers from cellulose nanocrystals: synthesis, properties, and applications
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-08-28)
Article
Open AccessOver 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 growing number of potential applications ... -
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 ... -

Thermally switchable liquid crystals based on cellulose nanocrystals with patchy polymer grafts
(2018-11)
Article
Open AccessA thermally “switchable” liquid-crystalline (LC) phase is observed in aqueous suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) featuring patchy grafts of the thermoresponsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). ...
