Journal ArticleDOI

Nanocellulose as a natural source for groundbreaking applications in materials science: Today’s state

TL;DR: Nanocelluloses are natural materials with at least one dimension in the nano-scale as discussed by the authors, which combine important cellulose properties with the features of nanomaterials and open new horizons for materials science and its applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanocellulose in Emulsions and Heterogeneous Water‐Based Polymer Systems: A Review

TL;DR: Even at low loadings, nanocellulose offers an unprecedented level of control as a property modifier for a range of emulsion and polymer applications, influencing, for example, emulsion type, stability, and stimuli-responsive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tailoring Cellulose Nanocrystal and Surfactant Behavior in Miniemulsion Polymerization

TL;DR: In this paper, CNCs were combined with surfactants to stabilize mini-emulsion polymerization reactions, showing that the surfactant adsorption is strongly dependent on the CNC surface charge and counterion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances and an industrial perspective of cellulose nanocrystal functionalization through polymer grafting

TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper describes the recent advances in CNC surface functionalization through polymer grafting, and comprehensively covers the existing work to date, using polymerization techniques such as free radical, ring opening, and controlled radical polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of interparticle interactions on microstructural and rheological properties of cellulose nanocrystal stabilized emulsions

TL;DR: Rheological measurements showed that emulsions stabilized by a-CNCs formed a stronger network than for b-C NC stabilized emulsion droplets due to increased van der Waals and H-bonding interactions that were not impeded by electrostatic repulsion.
