Nanocomposites of Nanocrystalline Cellulose for Biosensors Applications

Incani V., Danumah C., Boluk Y., University of Alberta, CA

The development of composite materials is getting increased interest, as they can be a way to achieve adequate sensitivity and stability for biosensors. In this work, we describe the use of a composite material made [...]

Synthesis, characterization and viscoelastic properties of Nanocrystalline Cellulose grafted with Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

Hemraz U.D., Danumah C., Lu A., Boluk Y., National Institute for Nanotechnology, University of Alberta, CA

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is a renewable, nontoxic and biodegradable nanomaterial that can be obtained by acid hydrolysis of the amorphous regions of the widely available cellulose. The relative low density, low cost, high aspect ratios, [...]
