    • Bio-inspired, Self-toughening polymers enabled by plasticizer-releasing microcapsules 

      Meesorn, Worarin; Calvino, Céline; Natterodt, Jens; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (2019-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      A new concept for the design of self-toughening thermoplastic polymers is presented. The approach involves the incorporation of plasticizer-filled microcapsules (MCs) in an intrinsically rigid and brittle matrix polymer. ...

    • Cellulose nanocrystals: surface modification, applications and opportunities at interfaces 

      Natterodt, Jens; Petri-Fink, Alke; Weder, Christoph; Zoppe, Justin Orazio (2017-06-28)
      Article
      Open Access
      Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-like nano-scale particles that are widely available in nature and have recently gained great interest in both research and industry, due to their high strength, high crystallinity, ...

    • Functionally graded polyurethane/cellulose nanocrystal composites 

      Natterodt, Jens; Meesorn, Worarin; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (2018-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      The preparation and investigation of functionally graded polymer nanocom-posites, which have a concentration gradient of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) along one direction, is reported here. As a test bed, a series of ...

    • Polymer nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystals made by co-precipitation 

      Natterodt, Jens; Shirole, Anuja; Sapkota, Janak; Zoppe, Justin Orazio; Weder, Christoph (Wiley, 2018-06-20)
      Article
      Open Access
      A premixing method to produce polymer nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is reported. This method involves the dissolution and dispersion of a polymer and CNCs in an organic solvent, co-precipitation into ...
