Abstract:
From early-stage natural ingredients to modern synthetic formulations, polymeric coatings and adhesives have been playing indispensable roles throughout human history. The modern synthetic polymeric coatings and adhesives are criticized for the lack of renewable components in their formulations, negative environmental impact, and sometimes insufficient protection to their substrates. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) are an interesting class of nanomaterials, derived from biomass. The large surface area, superior mechanical properties, and biodegradable nature of CNMs make them highly suitable for various applications, including biomedical implants, food packaging, polymer composites, sensors, and wastewater treatment. Among them, the polymer composite applications have been intensively investigated. Developing nanocomposite coatings and adhesives can potentially address the drawbacks of existing formulations. Here we reviewed the progress of multi-functionalizing polymeric coatings and adhesives through CNM incorporation.
