Encapsulation and controlled thermal release of vegetable oils from organic nanoparticles for functional coating applications

Samyn P., Stanssens D., University of Freiburg - Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, DE

Nanoparticle pigments of poly(styrene-maleimide) or SMI have been synthesized containing different vegetable oils that favourably can be applied as a barrier resistant coating against water and oil penetration onto paper substrates and regulate its surface [...]

Surface Hydrophobization of Micro- and Nanofibrillated Cellulose and Blending Property in PLA Nanocomposites

Samyn P., University of Freiburg - Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, DE

Cellulose fibers are advantageous reinforcing materials for bio-based composites because of their availability and good mechanical properties. Several chemical processes have been developed to turn the native fibers into micro- (MFC) or nanofibrillated (NFC) cellulose [...]
