Design, Processing, and Characterization of Nanocomposites
… of polymers reinforced with bio-based cellulose nanoparticles at an industrial scale. The successful incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in polyamides, specifically polyamide 11 (PA 11) and polyamide 6 (PA 6), can result in a more sustainable material. However, unless …

High Shear Flow Properties of Nanocellulose
Nanocellulosics, often found in the form of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFCs), provide promise as rheological modifiers and reinforcement fillers for composite materials. The biological origin of CNCs promises a bio-renewable resource with the potential to expedite …

Functionalized High Aspect Ratio Cellulose Nanocrystal Filled Composites for Gas and Liquid Separations
… the impact of incorporation of high aspect ratio cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on the performance of the resulting polymer composite membranes for desalination and gas phase separations. Lack of available drinking water is an increasing problem across the world with much of the world living in …

Understanding the Impact of High Aspect Ratio Nanoparticles on Desalination Membrane Performance
… evaluated for their potential as TFN additives: cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and metal-organic framework (MOF) nanorods. CNCs were chosen due to their high aspect ratios, mechanical strength, and potential for surface functionalization. MOF nanorods are also of interest given their aspect ratios …

Interactions of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Colloidal and Composite Systems
Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have been widely studied for their potential as sustainable fillers in polymer nanocomposites, optical responsiveness in suspensions and thin films, and their orientation-dependent liquid crystalline behavior in suspensions. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have seen a …

Chiral self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals for photonic films
… A notable example is the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into nanostructured films. CNCs are elongated colloidal particles that spontaneously form a cholesteric liquid crystal phase in aqueous suspension. This helicoidal configuration can be preserved as the suspension dries, …
