Cellulose nanomaterial reinforced polymer nanocomposites
TLDR
In this article, the authors focus on cellulose materials as filler in polymer nanocomposites and their properties depend on the type of nanomaterial used, but the crucial point is the processing technique.Abstract:
Several forms of cellulose nanomaterials, notably cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils, exhibit attractive properties and are potentially useful for a large number of industrial applications. These include the paper and cardboard industry, use as reinforcing filler in polymer nanocomposites, basis for low-density foams, additive in adhesives and paints, as well as a wide variety of filtration, electronic, food, hygiene, cosmetic, and medical products. This entry focuses on cellulose materials as filler in polymer nanocomposites. The ensuing mechanical properties obviously depend on the type of nanomaterial used, but the crucial point is the processing technique. The emphasis is on the melt processing of such nanocomposite materials that has not yet been properly resolved and remains a challenge.read more

Structural Reorganization of CNC in Injection-Molded CNC/PBAT Materials under Thermal Annealing.
TL;DR: Small-amplitude oscillary shear (SAOS) experiments show that as the CNC content increases, a more elastic behavior is observed but no percolating network can form within the polymeric matrix as a result of the high shear rates involved during the injection-molding process.
