Research Abstract

The purpose of this project was t6o obtain eco & nanocomposites with high functionality and high performance through utilizing cellulose nanofibers both as reinforcement and matrix. Using newly innovated technologies such as in situ polymerization, in situ cultivation, electrospinning, and supercritical carbon dioxide, new concept of environmentally friendly composite fabrication methods were proposed. These eco & nanocomposites were found to possess high performance superior to the conventional composites
