Toward "strong" green nanocomposites: polyvinyl alcohol reinforced with extremely oriented cellulose whiskers

To exploit the maximum potential of cellulose whiskers (CWs), we report here for the first time the successful fabrication of nanocomposites reinforced with highly oriented CWs in a polymer matrix. The nanocomposites were prepared using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and a colloidal suspension of cotton-de...
