Impact of nano-cellulose fiber addition on physico-mechanical properties of room temperature vulcanized maxillofacial silicone material

“…Nanocellulose fibers have been used because of their good physical and mechanical characteristics (high hardness, rigidity, and thermal stability). 6 , 25 Nanocellulose fibers are also abundant; can be obtained from a variety of plant sources; and offer a sustainable, environmentally beneficial, and inexpensive reinforcing option. 26 …”

“…Wound dressings and tissue engineering are notable areas in the biomedical sector in which nanocellulose is an extremely suitable biomaterial. 6 , 7 …”

“…In 2022, Leite et al. 6 found that the Vickers hardness can be increased by the simple addition of CNCs, a renewable material. Adding CNCs to this denture reline resin may increase the material's abrasion resistance, thus supporting long-term use.…”
