TEMPO-oxidized Nanofibrillated Cellulose Film (NFC) incorporating Graphene Oxide (GO) Nanofillers
… plastics. To design a new system of novel TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs)/graphene oxide (GO) composite, the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation was utilized to disintegrate never-dried wood nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). GO was …

TEMPO-oxidized Nanocelluloses: Surface Modification and use as Additives in Cellulosic Nanocomposites
The process of TEMPO-mediated oxidation has gained broad usage towards the preparation of highly charged, carboxyl-functionalized polysaccharides. TEMPO-oxidized nanocelluloses (TONc) of high surface charge and measuring 3 to 5 nm in width have been recently prepared from TEMPO-oxidized pulp. This …

Interactions of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Colloidal and Composite Systems
… CNCs and 2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNFs) was prepared through solution casting to improve the mechanical performance of the individual reinforcements alone. The physical interaction length is increased by incorporating CNMs of different length …
