NANOCOMPOSITES OF POLY(LACTIC ACID) REINFORCED WITH CELLULOSE NANOFIBRILS
A chemo-mechanical method was used to prepare cellulose nanofibrils dispersed uniformly in an organic solvent. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 1000) was added to the matrix as a compatibilizer to improve the interfacial interaction between the hydrophobic poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and the hydrophilic cellu...
