Nanocellulose, which is biodegradable and possesses excellent physicochemical properties, has high potential in many applications. However, its intrinsic hydrophilic nature makes it difficult to be used as fillers in most hydrophobic polymer composites. Here, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were succe...
