Cellulose modified fibres in cement based composites (2009, background): “Several attempts have been carried out; among them one procedure involves the use of silane-based bi-functional molecules to graft the fibre surface, in which one of the extremities remains available to bond with the matrix [15].”

Cellulose (2010, methodology): “In this context, a double-grafting was applied as well, which consisted in the use of siloxanes bearing a polymerizable function (Abdelmouleh et al. 2004; Castellano et al. 2004), followed by the copolymerization of G-modified cellulose fibers with styrene (St) or methyl methacrylate (MMA).”
