Abstract
Enhancement in Adhesive and Thermal Properties of Bio‐based Epoxy Resin by Using Eugenol Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals
Highlights
Epoxy resins have been used on large scale in our daily lives for coating purpose owing to their adhesives and excellent mechanical performance [1, 2]
It was concluded that the average diameter of the Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) based nanocomposites depend on the concentration of cellulose nanocrystals in bio-based epoxy resin
Eugenol-based silane coupling agent was synthesized via hydro-sialylation
Summary
Epoxy resins have been used on large scale in our daily lives for coating purpose owing to their adhesives and excellent mechanical performance [1, 2]. Cellulose nanocrystals in combination with polymers owing to their renewable nature and wide variety applications in material science has been attracted an increasing interest of researchers due to their enhanced performances [19,20,21,22]. CNCs have been reported as sustainable biosource material, which serve as a valuable colloidal stabilizer [34, 35] They have attracted a dynamic attention in developing and high-performance nano-composites due to their mechanical performance [36, 37]. CNCs have been incorporated into polymer matrices as a reinforcing agent due to their hydrophilic and well-dispersion properties [40] It is a favorable reinforcing material for production of bio-based composite materials, because of its high strength and stiffness [41]. CNCs are bio-source safe nanomaterials have attracted researchers’ interest both in academic and industrial sectors, a leading potential for industrial production [42]
