All-cellulose composites based on jute cellulose nanowhiskers and electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) fibrous membranes

In this study, all-cellulose nanocomposites were developed by depositing one-dimensional jute cellulose nanowhiskers on a hydrolyzed two dimensional electrospun nanofibrous membrane via an immersion-drying process. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared, field emission scanning electron microscope, thermal gravimetric analysis, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller specific surface area, and mechanical properties. The versatile all-cellulose nanocomposites have the potential to be used in ultrafiltration, medical application, catalyst supports, etc.
