Versatile Surface Modification of Cellulose Fibers and Cellulose Nanocrystals through Modular Triazinyl Chemistry

Abstract

The ability to tune the interfacial and functional properties of cellulose nanomaterials has been identified as a critical step for the full utilization of nanocellulose in the development of new materials. Here, we use triazine chemistry in a modular approach to install various functionalities and chemistries onto cellulose fibers and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The surface modification is demonstrated in aqueous and organic media. …
