Impact of Colloidal Stability on Cellulose Nanocrystals Self-Ordering in Thin Films

Bruel C., Tavares J.R., Carreau P.J., Heuzey M.-C., polytechnique montreal, CA

Sulfuric acid hydrolyzed cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) display interesting self-ordering properties in water. Applications include water casting of optically active CNC- based materials and composites. N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-cast materials do not display as good properties. Variations in [...]

Moisture Uptake Characterization in Nanocellulose Using Microwave Cavity

Emiroglu C.D., Natarajan B., Gillman J.W., Liddle J.A., Obrzut J., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

Nanocellulose has been a continuously emerging area of interest over the recent years due to inexpensive, abundant, and renewable nature of the material source. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are regarded to be highly useful candidates as [...]

Cellulose Nanocrystals as Barrier Performance Enhancer of Extrusion-Blown PLA Films for Food Applications

Matuana L.M., Karkhanis S.S., Stark N.M., Michigan State University, US

Bio-based plastics from sustainable resources such as biomass are the best alternative to petroleum-based polymers because they provide solutions for reducing the general dependency on oil availability and environmental concerns about the use of common [...]
