Recently, biopolymers have received great attention due to their eco-friendly properties. Cellulose has been actively studied. It is most abundant biopolymer in the earth and can be renewable, biocompatible and biodegradable. Polymer-clay nanocomposites have attracted various applications such as packaging materials. Montmorillonite (MMT) is widely used reinforcing material. It can be treated with surfactants that help to exfoliate the layers of MMT in a polymer matrix. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) has high thermal stability, flame retardation and good mechanical properties. POSS additive can assist in expanding interlayer space of sodium MMT. In this work, we report the cellulose nanocomposite using POSS-modified MMT as nanofiller. |
