Mechanical and Surface Properties of Polystyrene Fibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals
DownloadFall 2018
Electrospinning of polystyrene (PS) as a ubiquitous polymer attracted tremendous attention. Though, different reinforcement techniques are commonly considered for the electrospun PS fibers because of their fragile structures. High mechanical properties of Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) allow these...

Multifunctional Self-Healing Hydrogels Based on Natural Polymers for Biomedical Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Hydrogel is a chemically or physically cross-linked hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) polymer network. Classic hydrogels with irreversibly cross-linked polymer networks cannot heal after rupture, leading to degradation and deterioration in their functions over time. In contrast, self-healing...

Synthesis and Characterization of Electrospun Activated Carbon Nanofibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals for Adsorption Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are emerging nanomaterials with desirable characteristics including biodegradability, renewable sources, high aspect ratios, high surface area, and high strength. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the most commonly used polymer precursor for electrospinning due to its high...
