Unlocking the Potential of Hydrophobic Cellulose Nanofibrils: Enhancing Composite Reinforcement and Drying Behavior

An article by ASCC researchers Megan Driscoll, Peter Kelly, and William Gramlich was published in Langmuir. Titled “Impact of Aqueous Grafting of Polystyrene through Methacrylate-Modified Cellulose Nanofibrils on Emulsion Stabilization and Drying Behavior”, this research explores how the hydrophobic modification of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) releases the capability for composite reinforcement including CNFs without energy-demanding spray […]
