The water vapor sorption behavior of a galactomannan cellulose nanocomposite film analyzed using parallel exponential kinetics and the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. (2013)
Journal Article
Keating, B. A., Hill, C. A. S., Sun, D., English, R., Davies, P., & McCue, C. (2013). The water vapor sorption behavior of a galactomannan cellulose nanocomposite film analyzed using parallel exponential kinetics and the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 129, 2352-2359. https://doi.org/10.1002/app.39132

Nanocomposite films have been developed where a galactomannan (guar) matrix was reinforced with cellulose nanowhiskers and plasticized using sorbitol. The properties of these films were compared with films made from guar only. The films were examined...
