Review of Recent Research into Cellulosic Whiskers, Their Properties and Their Application in Nanocomposite Field
TLDR
There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and deposited in a continuous fashion.About:

Bacterial cellulose nanocrystals exhibiting high thermal stability and their polymer nanocomposites.
TL;DR: The BCNC obtained through cellulose treatment under controlled conditions were associated with several desirable properties and appear to be superior over the conventional methods of nanocrystals production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Sensitive Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates Based on Filter Paper Loaded with Plasmonic Nanostructures
TL;DR: The paper substrates demonstrated here establish a novel platform for integrating SERS with already existing analytical techniques such as chromatography and microfluidics, imparting chemical specificity to these techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper-polymer nanocomposites: An excellent and cost-effective biocide for use on antibacterial surfaces.
TL;DR: This review presents a comprehensive compilation of previous published work on the subject, mainly related to the antimicrobial activity of copper polymer nanocomposites, and highlights the possible mechanisms of action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of rod-shaped cellulose nanocrystals in polyacrylamide hydrogels
TL;DR: CNCs were not only a reinforcing agent for hydrogel, but also acted as a multifunctional cross-linker for gelation and the shear storage modulus, compression strength and elastic modulus of the nanocomposite hydrogels were significantly improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple Method for the Melt Extrusion of a Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced Hydrophobic Polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, the rheological properties of a dispersion of cellulose nanocrystals in an aqueous solution of polyoxyethylene (PEO) have been investigated.

The effects of shape on the interaction of colloidal particles
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that colloids in general are apt to exhibit considerable deviations from Raoult's law and that crystalline phases retaining a fair proportion of solvent may separate from concentrated solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal Structure and Hydrogen-Bonding System in Cellulose Iβ from Synchrotron X-ray and Neutron Fiber Diffraction
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal and molecular structure of cellulose Iβ were determined using synchrotron and neutron diffraction data recorded from oriented fibrous samples prepared by aligning cellulose microcrystals from tunicin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose: the structure slowly unravels
TL;DR: A review of the information gathered on cellulose structure over the last few decades can be found in this paper, where the authors attempt to bring together basic and complex information which has been gathered on the structure of native cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced by Cellulose Whiskers
Journal ArticleDOI
Helicoidal self-ordering of cellulose microfibrils in aqueous suspension.
TL;DR: An in vitro system that attracts by its simplicity, where above a critical concentration the colloidal dispersion separates spontaneously into a chiral nematic liquid crystalline phase and solidifies into regularly twisted fibrillar layers that mimic the structural organization of helicoids in nature.
