Influence of chemical surface modification of cellulose nanowhiskers on thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties of poly(lactide) based bionanocomposites (2013, methodology): “Several grafting strategies have already been used, for example surface acetylation of microfibrillar cellulose [30,31], reactive compatibilisation [32], or grafting of PLA oligomers onto the CNW surface [16,33].”
