Poly(vinyl alcohol) films reinforced with nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) isolated from corn husk by high intensity ultrasonication

Crystallinity study of electrospun poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibers: effect of electrospinning, filler incorporation, and heat treatment

“…Depending on the intended application, nano-sized fillers such as nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) [8][9][10], nanosilver [11], calcium carbonate [12], biphasic calcium phosphate [13], bioactive glass [14], graphene nanosheets [15], nanoclay [16][17][18], carbon black [19], graphene oxide [20,21], Fe 2 O 3 [22], and cellulosic nanomaterials [23][24][25] have been successfully incorporated into PVA. Electrospinning of PVA nanocomposites including two different nanofillers i.e., nanohydroxy apatite and Abstract This study aims to explore crystallinity variations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a result of electrospinning, filler addition, and heat treatment.…”

Characteristics and Properties of Cellulose Nanofibers Prepared by TEMPO Oxidation of Corn Husk

“…In recent years many efforts have been made worldwide to extract nanocrystalline cellulose from corn husk. Xiao et al (2016) fabricated and characterized poly(vinyl alcohol) films that were reinforced by nanofibrillated corn husk using a combination of chemical pretreatments and ultrasonication; de Carvalho Mendes and his colleagues (2015) investigated the influence of the reaction time and the fiber/acid ratio on the properties of nanocrystalline cellulose isolated from corn husk.…”

Biofilms from micro/nanocellulose of $$\hbox {NaBH}_{4}$$ NaBH 4 -modified kraft pulp

“…On the other hand, Shankar and Rhim [64] produced a composite film using agar (90%) and nanocellulose (10%), which resulted in 1.15 GPa of storage modulus. Films of NFC with 1% PVA added showed storage modulus of 0.05 GPa [65].…”
