Much attention has been paid to Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) composites reinforced with nanocellulose as alternatives for fossil-based polymers. However, there are two major problems in fabricating PBS/CNF composites. Aggregation of CNFs and poor compatibility between PBS and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) cause low mechanical properties of composites. For uniform dispersion of CNF, PBS/CNF composites were prepared via a solvent-assisted mechanochemistry (SMC) process. The SMC process is a simple and economic way to individualize CNFs and coat the surface of PBS particles with CNF simultaneously. We confirmed that the mechanical properties of PBS/CNF composites have been enhanced via SMC process. |
