Review of the recent developments in cellulose nanocomposite processing (2016, methodology): “Liquid-assisted feeding is a promising method for nanocomposites processing, and it has been shown to be an effective way to produce nanocomposites [10,11,70,98,99].”
Plasticized polylactic acid nanocomposite films with cellulose and chitin nanocrystals prepared using extrusion and compression molding with two cooling rates : effects on mechanical, thermal and optical properties (2016, methodology): “We have shown in our previous studies [7,15,16] that liquid feeding of cellulose nanomaterials together with a suitable processing aid; such as plasticizer or water; is one way to avoid the drying process and to improve the dispersion of the nanomaterials in the matrix.”
