TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of preparation conditions on the thermal and morphological behavior of the nanocrystals were investigated and a possible correlation between preparation conditions and particle size was not observed.

TL;DR: In this article, a solution blow spinning technique was developed using elements of both electrospinning and melt blowing technologies as an alternative method for making non-woven webs of micro- and nanofibers with diameters comparable with those made by the electro-spinning process with the advantage of having a fiber production rate measured by the polymer injection rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of water uptake on the tensile properties of short sisal/PP composites has been studied with special reference to the effect of ageing conditions like treatment with water and UV radiation.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes findings and prospective applications of nanocellulose for bio-based materials to be used in food packaging (including active packaging), including nanofibribils or even nanocrystals.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the properties of mango puree edible films can be significantly improved through CNF reinforcement, suggesting the formation of a fibrillar network within the matrix.
