Aqueous Polymer Modification of Cellulose Nanofibrils by Grafting‐Through a Reactive Methacrylate Group

“…Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), composed of the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, have garnered a significant amount of research interest. Their intrinsic renewability coupled with high mechanical strength [ 1 ] makes them excellent candidates for applications such as paper making, [ 2,3 ] composite reinforcement, [ 4 ] and packaging. [ 5 ] The potential scale‐up and wide‐spread commercial application of CNFs are limited by the more negative aspects of their nature.…”

Plant celluloses, hemicelluloses, lignins, and volatile oils for the synthesis of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials

“…The nanocellulose composites have been employed under the form of coatings and paints, films, or foams. In paper manufacture, nanocelluloses are expected to provide: (i) dry and wet strength with mechanical reinforcement of the inner paper structure; 237 (ii) gas barrier properties and grease/oil resistance as a coating layer; 238 (iii) retention aid to enhance retention; 239 (iv) enhanced surface properties (e.g., smoothness). 240 However, the processing of nanocellulose suspensions within a coating layer is often limited while using conventional coating techniques, due to the very high viscosity at low fiber concentrations.…”

A review on cationic starch and nanocellulose as paper coating components

“…H-bonding, and therefore strength, is improved further by the addition of nanocellulose in the pulp slurry. Nanocellulose can also be applied after the formation of the paper web, via coating, to enhance the printability and surface properties [154].…”
