Interfacial interactions and electrospinning of cellulose nanocrystals dispersions in polymer solutions: a review

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with high specific surface area, crystallinity, aspect ratio with unique rod-like shapes, elastic modulus and tensile strength are an excellent additive which can be used for the preparation of unique polymer/nanoparticle fiber composites from polymer solutions by electrospinning. Research on electrospinning as a technique has grown rapidly since 1990 with the number of publications increasing exponentially after...
