TL;DR: This review establishes detailed best practices, methods and techniques for characterizing CNM particle morphology, surface chemistry, surface charge, purity, crystallinity, rheological properties, mechanical properties, and toxicity for two distinct forms of CNMs: cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose Nanofibrils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolution and Regeneration of Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin Using Ionic Liquids
David M. Phillips,Lawrence F. Drummy,Deborah G Conrady,Douglas M. Fox,Rajesh R. Naik,Morley O. Stone,Paul C. Trulove,Hugh C. De Long,Robert A. Mantz +8 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the suitability of imidazolium-based ionic liquid solvents for the dissolution and regeneration of silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk and shows how the rinse solvent, acetonitrile or methanol, has a profound impact on both the topography of the films and the secondary structure of the silk protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Homogeneously Dispersed Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube/Polystyrene Nanocomposites via Melt Extrusion Using Trialkyl Imidazolium Compatibilizer
Séverine Bellayer,Jeffrey W. Gilman,N. Eidelman,N. Eidelman,Serge Bourbigot,Xavier Flambard,Douglas M. Fox,H. C. De Long,Paul C. Trulove +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/polystyrene nanocomposites have been prepared via melt extrusion, using trialkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate-compatibilized MWNTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regenerated silk fiber wet spinning from an ionic liquid solution
David M. Phillips,Lawrence F. Drummy,Rajesh R. Naik,Hugh C. De Long,Douglas M. Fox,Paul C. Trulove,Robert A. Mantz +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, regenerated silk fibroin from Bombyx mori silkworms was extruded into fibers from a 1ethyl-3methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid solvent system; the drawn fibers rinsed in methanol exhibit alignment of the β-sheet crystallites along the fiber axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flame retarded poly(lactic acid) using POSS-modified cellulose. 1. Thermal and combustion properties of intumescing composites
TL;DR: In this article, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was used as a carbon source in intumescing flame retardants (IFRs) for melt-blended poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites.
