Preparation and properties of PBAT/PLA composites modified by PVA and cellulose nanocrystals

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was prepared through the hydrolysis of concentrated sulfuric acid using commercial bagasse pulp as a raw material. The performance of the developed CNC was tested through the atomic force microscope, particle size measurement, and zeta potential analysis. The melt blending method was adopted to prepare thermoplastic polyvinyl alcohol (TPVA) and CNC‐TPVA using the glycerol (GI)‐dicondensed triethylene glycol (TEG)...
