Tailoring nanofibrillated cellulose through sonication and its potential use in molded pulp packaging

Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was systematically tailored by ultrasonic-assisted esterification with lactic acid at different amplitudes and times, which led to modified NFC (mNFC) with different degrees of substitution (DS), between 0.21 and 0.55, as confirmed by titration, FTIR, and C13 NMR. A p...
