Epoxies Can Solve Moisture Problems in Nanocellulose Materials Farhan Ansari Lars Berglund

摘要

1 Composites with high mechanical properties can be prepared using the preformed CNF network and impregnation with thermoset monomers - Simple processing method with a papermaking approach, with potential for upscaling - High CNF volume fraction can be used - Well dispersed fibers 2 Epoxy reacts covalently with hydroxyls on the cellulose surface - Significantly increased epoxy curing rate, less amine is needed - Highly improved mechanical properties in wet state and/or moist environment
