Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been blended into polylactic acid (PLA) to improve the
polymer's properties. The dispersion of CNC in the matrix has a strong influence on the …

The difficulty of dispersing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in poly (lactic acid)(PLA) was still a
primary obstacle to enhance the properties of PLA nanocomposites. In this work, two …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted much interest as a nucleating and reinforcing
agent for poly-L-(lactid acid)(PLLA). However, the processing route to incorporate CNCs into …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted considerable attention as nanofillers to
enhance the crystallization of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and to improve the mechanical …

To prepare a fully organic polylactic acid (PLA)‐based bio‐nanocomposite, cellulose
nanocrystals (CNCs) were grafted by PLA through ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of L …

The effects of fillers on the crystal formation and crystalline structure of poly (lactic acid)(PLA)
are unclear. In this study microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was used as filler to compound with …

In the present study, very small concentrations of CNCs and CNFs were melt-compounded
into PLA using a solvent-free process where poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) was used to …

Blending poly (lactic acid)(PLA) with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to fabricate
nanocomposites is a valuable strategy to improve the properties of PLA without sacrificing its …

Abstract Polylactide (PLA)/cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) nanocomposites with 1, 3, and 5
wt% CNC contents were prepared through (a) solution casting and (b) dilution of solution …

Polylactic acid (PLA), a potential alternative material for single use plastics, generally
portrays a slow crystallization rate during melt-processing. The use of a nanomaterial such …
