Nanocomposites: Incorporation of Cellulose Nanocrystals into Polymers and Addition of Zwitterionic Functionality

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are nanomaterials that have shown promise as reinforcement filler materials. Their small size, high modulus, and high aspect ratio makes CNCs good reinforcing materials. CNCs are typically introduced into softer polymer materials, which can have incompatible surface ch...
