Nanofibrils vs nanocrystals bio-nanocomposites based on sodium alginate matrix: an improved-performance study

To develop bio-nanocomposites using natural biopolymers, nanocomposite films were prepared based on sodium alginate and kapok nanofibrils (CNFs). CNFs when subjected to TEMPO-mediated oxidation gave rise to cellulose nanocrystals (TOCNCs), with carboxyl groups at the surface ( Ka/Kb = 3.64). The dif...
