MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Enhancing Strength and Toughness Via Reinforcement with Nanocellulose Fibers”
Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are a nanomaterial obtained from plant sources and have excellent mechanical properties, high aspect ratios, and are biodegradable. As a reinforcing phase, CNFs have the potential to improve the mechanical properties of polymer materials. The overarching objective of this thesis is to investigate the use of CNFs to enhance the strength and […]
