Cellulose Nanocrystals/Polymer Nanocomposites for Application in Adhesives

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-shaped nanoparticles derived from cellulose, the most abundant polymer in the world. CNCs are as strong as Kevlar™, have a high aspect ratio (traditional nanoparticles are spherical) and thus, a higher surface area, which makes them ideal for use in nanocomposit...
