AI Technical Summary
The process of producing nanocellulose from cellulose fibers is complicated and costly, and the fibers are prone to aggregation, limiting their dispersion and reinforcing effect in polymer complexes, which also face issues with high temperature degradation.
A polymer complex is developed using microcellulose fibers with nanofibrils and fine particles bonded to a polyester resin matrix, where the fibers are fibrillated by growing fine particles without nano-sizing, enhancing mechanical properties and environmental friendliness.
The polymer complex exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high elastic modulus and strength, while being environmentally friendly, and can be used in various applications without the need for costly nano-processing.
