Abstract

type:Journal Article<br />This work tackles the disadvantages in the production of functionalized nanofibers from biomass and offers a new methodology to nanofiber-reinforced composite manufacturing. A vapor-phase-assisted surface polymerization (VASP) method has been used to develop surface-modified lignocellulosic nanofibers. Through the vaporized monomers during polymerization, the polymer chains can be introduced deep within oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMFs) due to their unique porous structure. After OPMFs are modified with polymer chains, the simple Mortar grinder mill–ionic liquid (M-IL) method provides fibrillation from the macro- to nanoscale, retaining the grafted polymer chains. This approach for the functionalization of biomass could lead to the large-scale fabrication of surface-modified nanofibers for reinforced materials and promote innovative implementations of the renewable biomass resource.<br />source:https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.8b00338
