All-Cellulose Composites Derived from Natural Plant Fibers
Juan Francisco Delgado, Jimena Bovi, María Laura Foresti, Celina Bernal
A promising approach to prepare high performance cellulose-reinforced biodegradable materials is the production of innovative composites made completely from cellulose according to the concept of single-polymer composites. All-cellulose composites (ACCs) are distinguished for the excellent interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the reinforcement which results in outstanding mechanical properties, and for their enhanced recyclability. In this context, the current chapter will focus on the most important processing routes and the main properties of ACCs and ACNCs (all-cellulose nanocomposites) totally or partially derived from natural plant fibers, using either the entire fibers or the cellulose isolated from them.
