The Compatibilisation of NCC for Dispersion in Other Matrices
In this FPInnovations project, Dr. Gilles Dorris, Program Manager of Fiber Products Manufacturer, and Dr. Makhlouf Laleg, Lead Project Investigator, will investigate the use of cellulose nanofilaments (CNF) to reinforce paperboard packaging products. This approach will enable manufacturers to reduce weight and fiber consumption while maintaining the required mechanThis FPInnovations project, led by Dr. Jean Bouchard, aims to develop industrially viable approaches to improve the compatibility of NCC with various polymer matrices through chemical modification or by using an agent which has affinity for both the nanomaterial and the matrix. ical properties for end-use applications.
