Morphological investigation of polylactide/microfibrillated cellulose composites

Mechanical, Morphological, and Thermal Properties of Nutshell and Microcrystalline Cellulose Filled High- Density Polyethylene Composites

Effects of nutshell fiber loadings of 30 wt.% and MCC loadings up to 15 wt.% on some properties of high-density polyethylene composites (HDPE) were investigated. The composites were manufactured by a single screw extruder and injection molding. The experimental composite samples were tested for their mechanical performance including tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural...

Bacterial Cellulose-Based Biomimetic Composites

Sunn hemp cellulose graft copolymers polyhydroxybutyrate composites: morphological and mechanical studies

For the synthesis of biocomposite materials for useful applications, it becomes necessary to modify the surface of natural fibers through chemical treatments. Morphology, structure and properties of natural fibers have an obvious effect on the mechanical properties of the biocomposite materials. It is thus necessary to know the morphology, thermal stability and crystalline behavior of original ...

Composites of Cellulose and Metal Nanoparticles

Composites comprising cholesterol and carboxymethyl cellulose.

Whereby cholesterol presents one of the major fatty substances in human body, carboxymethyl cellulose is a water-soluble derivative of cellulose, the most abundant dietary fiber. Whereas on one hand in vivo precipitation of cholesterol is the major cause of atherosclerosis, dietary fibers are on the other hand known for their ability to clean the fatty plaque deposited on intestinal pathways, a...
