Chemically modified cellulose nanofibril as additive for polyurethane coatings
In a study by Finnish researchers, the potential of silyl functionalised cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) as reinforcing additive for water- and solvent-based two-component polyurethane (PU) coatings was evaluated.
The increasing demand for the use of sustainable materials in industrial applications has created an urge to develop technologies that enable the use of biopolymers such as cellulose for the improvement of properties of commercial products.
Potential even at low loadings
The addition of silylated CNF improved the abrasion resistance, strength, and elasticity of PU coatings. When using silylated CNF as additive, the adhesion of the PU coatings was retained. The oxygen permeation rate of silylated CNF films was strongly influenced by the nature of the solvent. The silylated CNF showed potential as a reinforcing additive even at low loadings in two-component PU lacquers.
The study is published in: Applied Polymer Science.

i am very glad shearing this my amazing testimony on how Dr Kachi help me win the lottery, i have been living in hell for the past 4years since i have no job, and had been playing lottery for a long time but I have no luck playing to win, but everything changed when I saw a marvelous testimonies of a woman, Elena online saying on how Dr Kachi help her to win Euro Millions, I love playing Mega Millions lottery but winning big is always the issue for me. I will never forget the day I came in contact with Dr Kachi whose great lottery spell cast made me a winner of $3,000,000 million dollars. Dr Kachi gave me guaranteed lucky winning numbers within 24hours to play the lottery after he prepared the lottery spell for me. My financial status has changed for good, Dr Kachi truly you are the best, this has been the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. If you want to win a lottery never give up contact Dr Kachi WhatsApp number: +1 (570) 775-3362 OR Email: drkachispellcast@gmail.com his Website: https://drkachispellcast.wixsite.com/my-site
