TY  - JOUR
AB  - Mechanical  properties  of  rod7like  cellulose  nanocrystals  (CNCs)  offer  great  potential  as bioderived  reinforcement  in  (nano)composites.  Polyvinyl  alcohol  (PVOH)  is  a  useful industrial material and very compatible with CNC chemistry. High performance CNC/PVOH composite fibers were produced coaxial coagulation spinning, followed by hot7drawing. DSC and WAXS showed that CNCs increase the alignment and crystallinity of PVOH, as well as providing direct reinforcement, leading to enhanced fiber strength and stiffness. At 40 wt.% CNC  loading,  the  strength  and  stiffness  reached  880  MPa  and  29.9  GPa,  exceeding  the properties of most other nanocellulose based composite fibers previously reported.
