Abstract:Cellulose nanostructures (CNSs) are nanoscale biomaterials that have an excellent reinforcing ability; however, due to their high hydrophilic nature, its functionalization is necessary to improve the compatibility between CNS and polymeric matrices. In this work, the CNS‐functionalization with four different modifiers: cationic (CS), anionic (AS), and non‐ionic (NS) surfactant, and GA (grafting agent) is proposed. The modification is conducted in aqueous solution, using three different modifiers contents: 1, 3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
