Nanocomposites of poly(lactic acid) reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (2010, background): “Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a type of commercial biopolymer made from L- and D-lactic acids, which can be derived from the fermentation of corn starch (Lunt 1998).”
Luffa cylindrica as a lignocellulosic source of fiber, microfibrillated cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals (2010, methodology): “The lateral dimension of MFC is in the order of 10-100 nm (Lu et al. 2008; Nakagaito and Yano 2005), and the length can be in the micrometer scale, both parameters depending on the preparation method.”
Surface chemical modification of microfibrillated cellulose: improvement of barrier properties for packaging applications (2011, methodology): “There are different methods to achieve better adhesion between the two phases and to improve the barrier properties of cellulose materials such as chemical modification (Heinze et al. 2006; Thiebaud and Borredon 1995; Freire et al. 2006; Hayashi 1989; Malm et al. 1951; Tserki et al. 2005; Yuan et al”
Effect of high residual lignin on the thermal stability of nanofibrils and its enhanced mechanical performance in aqueous environments (2015, methodology): “The most common methods include acetylation (Rodionova et al. 2011), silylation (Gousse et al. 2004), use of coupling agents (Lu et al. 2008), polymer grafting (Lonnberg et al. 2011), use of surfactants (Islam et al. 2013), and solvent exchange (Iwatake et al. 2008).”
Key Improvements in Interfacial Adhesion and Dispersion of Fibers/Fillers in Polymer Matrix Composites; Focus on PLA Matrix Composites (2021, methodology): “was added to the MFC-acetone suspension, which was cast into a film in a Teflon petri dish and cured at 40°C [84].”
Effect of surface modification of bamboo cellulose fibers on mechanical properties of cellulose/epoxy composites (2013, background): “As reported, the natural cellulose fibers were composited by crystalline cellulose in nanosize and para-crystalline, surrounded by amorphous cellulose [34].”
Cellulose nanofiber network for moisture stable, strong and ductile biocomposites and increased epoxy curing rate (2014, unknown): “Similar drops in Tg were reported for silane treated and untreated NFC/EP systems [21] and ramie fiber/EP systems [36], although the phenomenon was not further analyzed.”
