Preparation of organically dispersible graphene nanosheet powders through a lyophilization method and their poly(lactic acid) composites (2010, methodology): “Lyophilization, an environmentally friendly process, has been frequently used to prepare aerogels of nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanowhiskers [25].”
Graphene and modified graphene-based polymer nanocomposites – A review (2014, methodology): “These nanowhisker powders were very loosely packed and had decreased van der Waals interactions which aids in easy redispersion in organic media.(40,41) The same method has been applied in the preparation of GNS powders, which could be easily dispersed in solvents for further functionalisation.”
Nanocellulose properties and applications in colloids and interfaces (2014, unknown): “montmorrillonite [62], silica-cellulose aerogels [160], functionalized aerogels with oil absorbing properties and photo-switchable hydro-”
Facile preparation of mouldable polyvinyl alcohol-borax hydrogels reinforced by well-dispersed cellulose nanoparticles: physical, viscoelastic and mechanical properties (2013, methodology): “On the other hand, high Young’s modulus, tensile strength and elastic modulus of 134, 10, and 100 GPa for cellulose crystal region have been reported (Gawryla et al. 2009; Yang et al. 2013a, b).”
