Nanofiber composites of polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanocrystals: manufacture and characterization
(2010-03-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCellulose nanocrystals (CN) were used to reinforce nanofibers in composite mats produced via electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with two different concentrations of acetyl groups. Ultrathin cross-sections of the ... -
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes grafted from cellulose nanocrystals via surface-initiated single-electron transfer living radical polymerization
(2010-10-11)
Article
Open AccessCellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) or nanowhiskers produced from sulfuric acid hydrolysis of ramie fibers were used as substrates for surface chemical functionalization with thermoresponsive macromolecules. The CNCs were grafted ... -
Reinforcing Poly(e-caprolactone) nanofibers with cellulose nanocrystals
(2009-09-30)
Article
Open AccessWe studied the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNXs) obtained after acid hydrolysis of ramie cellulose fibers to reinforce poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers. Chemical grafting with low-molecular-weight PCL diol onto the ...
