Toughness improvement of epoxy thermosets with cellulose nanocrystals

We report the toughness improvement of epoxy thermosets by the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Pristine CNCs were functionalized via surface-initiated reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer/macromolecular design via interchange of xanthates (RAFT/MADIX) polymerization. The pristine CNCs were first surface-treated with 4-cyano-4-(isopropoxycarbo-nothioylthio)pentanoic chloride and then poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-grafted CNCs (CNC-PVPy) were synthesized with the xanthate-functionalized CNCs as chain transfer agent.
