Cellulose nanocrystal/amino-aldehyde biocomposite films [PDF]

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018
From the suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) derived from cotton and flax by acidic hydrolysis, transparent and smooth films were produced with different plasticizers and an amino-aldehyde based cross-linking agent in a wide composition range by a simultaneous casting and wet cross-linking process.

Cellulose nanofibril reinforced functional chitosan biocomposite films

Polymer Testing, 2023
Recently, chitosan has become attractive due to being biodegradable, biocompatible and renewable. However, the weak mechanical properties of chitosan films limit their large-scale application. In this work, a strategy of blending TEMPO, oxidized CNF (TOCN) and chitosan was developed to fabricate nanocomposite films in order to improve the mechanical ...
