TLDR
Compared to unmodified nanoparticles, the grafting of PCL chains on the surface results in lower modulus values but significantly higher strain at break, which clearly reflects the originality of the reinforcing phenomenon of polysaccharide nanocrystals resulting from the formation of a percolating network thanks to chain entanglements and cocrystallization.About:
