   Abstract : Tactile perception is considered an important contributor to the overall consumer experience of a product. However, what physical properties that create the specifics of tactile perception, are still not completely understood. READ MORE

4. 2. Surface Engineering of Cellulose Nanofibers for Advanced Biocomposites

   Author : Li Zha; Qi Zhou; Lars Berglund; Eero Kontturi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanocellulose; biopolymers; biocomposites; surface engineering; nanostructure; redispersibility; mechanical property; optical property; nanocellulosa; biopolymerer; biokompositer; ytteknik; nanostruktur; redispergerbarhet; mekaniska egenskaper; optiska egenskaper; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Nanocellulose, originated from cellulose, the primary structural component of the cell walls of plants, has garnered significant attention for its excellent mechanical, optical, and barrier properties, as well as its renewable and sustainable nature. Various forms of nanocellulose, including cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), are produced by breaking down lignocellulosic fibers into nanoscale dimensions, typically through mechanical or chemical processes.
