Mechanical behaviour of poly(lactic acid)/cellulose nanocrystal nanocomposites: A comparative study between conventional tensile test and small punch test

The use of nanocomposites is increasingly frequent as a way to improve the mechanical behaviour of polymers. In the specific case of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as a reinforcing material is an interesting option, once the tendency of CNCs to agglomerate has been...
