Grafting of poly(ε‐caprolactone) from Abaca cellulose fibers via ring‐opening polymerization resulting in facile one‐pot biocomposites
2021
SPE Polymers
As efforts to replace nonsustainable plastics increase, biocomposites from cellulose fibers and biodegradable polymers like poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are promising candidates. The necessary adhesion between fibers and matrix can be achieved by grafting polymeric chains onto the fibers. Herein, we report grafting of PCL onto Abaca fibers (AFs), a one-pot method to obtain a composite containing grafted fiber and free PCL, and the characterization of prepared composite films. Three parameters for
