Production of Polyvinyl Alcohol–Alginate–Nanocellulose Fibers
Starch - Stärke, Volume 74, Issue 5-6, May 2022., 2022 Nanocellulose‐based fibers are produced via the wet spinning method using calcium chloride as a coagulant solvent. The increase in nanocellulose content produces fibers with a rougher cross‐section and higher tensile strength with the addition of nanocellulose up to 3%.
