Cellulose nanocrystals mimicking micron sized fibers to assess the deposition of latex particles on cotton [PDF]
ACS Appl. Polym. Mater. 2021, 3, 6, 3009 - 3018, 2021 We report the interactions of cationic latex particles synthesized by RAFT/MADIX-mediated emulsion polymerization with anionic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cotton fabrics. Latexes in the size range 200-300 nm with poly(butyl acrylate) or poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) hydropho-bic cores and hydrophilic shell are synthesized.
