Hydrophobic Modification of Nanocellulose via a Two-Step Silanation Method

Hydrophobic Modification of Nanocellulose via a Two-Step Silanation Method

Dodecyltrimethoxysilane (DTMOS), which is a silanation modifier, was grafted onto nanocellulose crystals (NCC) through a two-step method using KH560 (ɤ-(2,3-epoxyproxy)propytrimethoxysilane) as a linker to improve the hydrophobicity of NCC. The reaction mechanism of NCC with KH560 and DTMOS and its...
