Dispersing uncharged cellulose nanocrystals through a precipitation surface modification route using oligosaccharides

“…Similar phenomena have been reported for other colloidal particles such as alumina [34][35][36] and other oxide nanoparticle suspensions. 37 Similarly, we showed that both dispersion viscosity and water binding capacity could be decreased through the intentional precipitation of externally-produced oligosaccharides onto the surface of S-CNCs. 19 While pristine HCl(aq)-CNCs can be relatively well-dispersed in aqueous media, their colloidal stability is notoriously poor.…”

Surface Modification of ZrO2 Nanoparticles with Biosafe Coupling Agents, Preparation of Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Nanocomposites: Optical, Thermal, and Morphological Studies

“…Citric acid (CA) and vitamin C (VC) as biosafe, biodegradable, biocompatible and environmental friendly coupling agents have been used as modifier agent to prevent aggregation of NPs in the matrix as well as improve the compatibility of metal oxides with polymer matrix. The ability of these modifiers to chelate with metal oxides makes them a good choice for surface modification …”

A simple and environmentally friendly method for surface modification of ZrO2 nanoparticles by biosafe citric acid as well as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and its application for the preparation of poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films

“…AA has four hydroxyl groups that can act as ligand to metal oxides. These properties make AA a good candidate as modifier for surface modification of metal oxides .…”
