Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites: A Short Review
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) has rapidly developed in reinforcing polymer to fabricate nanocomposites due to its unique web-like structure and special properties.In this paper,the preparation and the characteristics of CNF were briefly introduced.Then,the researches on the surface chemical modification of CNF including surface derivatization,surface grafting and addition coupling agent were presented.The characteristics of CNF after modification were also introduced.Next,the research advances of the polymer nanocomposites that derived from PVA,PLA,epoxy and PF reinforced with CNF were reviewed respectively.Last,the future research directions of CNF reinforced polymer nanocomposites were prospected.
