Polylactide cellulose-based nanocomposites.

This article reviews the studies conducted on these challenges of developing PLA cellulose-based nanocomposites including the difficulties of their processing and possible enhancements of their rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties. The investigations that have been conducted on PLA-CNC, PLA-CNF, and PLA-BC nanocomposites are separately discussed in this review article, while the studies on the development of PLA-nanocellulose blend nanocomposites and PLA-nanocellulose microcellular foams are also highlighted.
