Melt-Spun Nanocomposite Fibers Reinforced with Aligned Tunicate Nanocrystals

Melt-Spun Nanocomposite Fibers Reinforced with Aligned Tunicate Nanocrystals

The fabrication of nanocomposite films and fibers based on cellulose nanocrystals (P-tCNCs) and a thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) elastomer is reported. High-aspect-ratio P-tCNCs were isolated from tunicates using phosphoric acid hydrolysis, which is a process that affords nanocrystals displaying hi...
