This experimental study presents the effect of different surfactants on micro-scale carbon fiber (CFs) distribution into reinforced cement-based composites (CFRC) in terms flexural and compressive strength, stiffness, toughness, strain-sensing ability. Conducting a narrative review literature focusing fibers’ separation, this paper follows methodology introducing combination mechanical chemical...

Nanocelluloses occur under various crystalline forms that are currently being selectively used for a wide variety of high performance materials. In the present study, two cellulose nanofibers (CF-I) were mercerized by alkaline treatment (CF-II) without degradation, same molar mass 560,000 g/mol was measured. Both samples acid hydrolyzed, leading to nanocrystals in native (CNC-I) and (CNC-II) fo...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been widely studied as fillers to form reinforced nanocomposites with a wide range of applications, including the biomedical field. Here, we evaluated possibility combine them fibrinogen and obtain fibrin hydrogels improved mechanical stability potential cellular scaffolds. In diluted conditions at neutral pH, it was evidenced that could adsorb on CNCs in two-...
