[HTML][HTML] Chemically modified cellulose micro-and nanofibrils as paper-strength additives

R Hollertz, VL Durán, PA Larsson, L Wågberg - Cellulose, 2017 - Springer
Chemically modified cellulose micro- and nanofibrils were successfully used as paper
strength additives. Three different kinds of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were studied: …

Chemical modification of cellulose-rich fibres to clarify the influence of the chemical structure on the physical and mechanical properties of cellulose fibres and thereof …

VL Durán, PA Larsson, L Wågberg - Carbohydrate polymers, 2018 - Elsevier
Despite the different chemical approaches used earlier to increase the ductility of fibre-based
materials, it has not been possible to link the chemical modification to their mechanical …

Macro-and mesoporous nanocellulose beads for use in energy storage devices

J Erlandsson, VL Durán, H Granberg, M Sandberg… - Applied Materials …, 2016 - Elsevier
Chemically cross-linked, wet-stable cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogel beads were fabricated
using a novel procedure. The procedure facilitated controlled production of millimetre-…

[HTML][HTML] Preferential uptake of chitosan-coated PLGA nanoparticles by primary human antigen presenting cells
