Electrospinning of Cellulose Nanocrystal-Reinforced Polyurethane Fibrous Mats

Electrospinning of Cellulose Nanocrystal-Reinforced Polyurethane Fibrous Mats

We report the electrospinning of mechanically-tunable, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-reinforced polyurethanes (PUs). Using high-aspect ratio CNCs from tunicates, the stiffness and strength of electrospun PU/CNC mats are shown to generally increase. Furthermore, by tuning the electrospinning conditions...
