“…Together with tensile strength, the elongation at break was also reduced after the addition of fibers. This behavior can be related to a higher probability of stress concentration points induced by the inclusion of fillers . The addition of the filler in the polymer matrix can create brittle points, decreasing the ε of the composites .…”

“…Properties such as good mechanical properties, biodegradability, and high surface area are some attractive features for the use of CNCs as reinforcement [78,79]. Nanocomposites reinforced with CNCs usually show improved properties such as higher barrier properties, biodegradability, thermal, and mechanical properties when compared to pure polymers [80,81]. One of the restrictions on the use of cellulose nanocrystals is their poor compatibility with hydrophobic matrices due to their hydrophilic character [63].…”

“…Although, all the factors are equally important, the first three can be controlled before processing while the interfacial interactions can only be determined after processing and the extent of interaction can only be predicted using the necessary characterization techniques. Particle/particle interactions in polymer composites induce aggregation while filler/matrix interactions lead to an interphase development which yields characteristics which are modifications of those of the individual component [25]. In order to achieve a good migration of stress from the matrix to the fibers, a strong interaction is necessary, such as coupling that creates covalent bonds between the polymer matrix and the fibers.…”
