Preparation, Characterization and Application of Nanocellulose

Volkert B., Hettrich K., Fischer S., Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP, DE

Novel spherical nano-scaled cellulose particles have been prepared by high-pressure homogenizing of four different types of pre-treated cellulose samples with MICROFLUIDIZER™ processor (MF) in aqueous media. One possibility of pre-treatment is a decrystallization step realized [...]

High performance iPP based nanocomposite for food packaging application

Avella M., Errico M.E., Gentile G., INSTITUTE OF POLYMER CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY - CNR, IT

High performance iPP based nanocomposites filled with innovative calcium carbonate nanoparticles were prepared by melt mixing. Peculiarities of the nanoparticles were the high specific surface area, the elongated shape (aragonite), and the surface modifiers (polypropylene-maleic [...]
