TL;DR: An overview of recent progress in the area of cellulose nanofibre-based nanocomposites is given in this article, with particular emphasis on applications, such as reinforced adhesives, to make optically transparent paper for electronic displays, to create DNA-hybrid materials, to generate hierarchical composites and for use in foams, aerogels and starch nanocom composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of reinforcing fillers on the rheology of polymer melts
TL;DR: In this article, a single fumed silica, consisting of spherical primary particles (∼10 nm diameter) which are fused into aggregates, was subjected to different surface treatments, then mixed with polymethylsiloxanes (PDMS, Mw=2000-325 000) and tested under oscillatory shear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose micro/nanocrystals reinforced polyurethane
TL;DR: In this paper, nano-and micron-sized cellulose crystals were prepared and utilized as reinforcements for polyurethane composites, and the results indicated that a strong filler-matrix interaction was developed during curing as a result of a chemical reaction occurring between the crystals and the isocyanate component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-Mechanical properties of biodegradable starch nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite of cassava starch reinforced with waxy starch nanocrystals was prepared and X-ray spectra showed that the composite was more amorphous than the neat matrix, which was attributed to higher equilibrium water content in the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of glycerol on the morphology of nanocomposites made from thermoplastic starch and starch nanocrystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the same type of starch, which contains 99.5% amylopectin, was used to prepare glycerol plasticized and unplasticized matrices, showing that the crystalline structure of the nanocrystals was not affected by processing.
