Mechanical percolation in cellulose whisker nanocomposites

Abstract

Nanocomposites obtained by casting a mixture of a latex and an aqueous suspension of cellulose whiskers have been studied. Their mechanical properties (e.g. shear modulus) are found to increase by more than three orders of magnitude in the rubbery state of the polymer matrix, when the whisker content is 6 wt%. This large and unusual effect is discussed on the basis of different types of mechanical models, including semi‐phenomenological and numerical finite element calculations. It is concluded that cellulose whiskers form a rigid network linked by hydrogen bonds. The formation of this network is assumed to be governed by a percolation mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
