Nanocellulose fibers and other natural polymers as unique pieces for the development of sustainable composites: A contribution@UA.PT
Résumé
In recent years we have been engaged on the development of novel (nano)composite materials based on nanocellulose forms and other natural polymers, following different strategies, including heterogeneous chemical modification and compounding with thermoplastic matrices, combination with other natural polymers like chitosan and starch and blending with other materials. A global overview of the research activities developed in these domains in our group will be presented and discussed in this communication.
