Transparency, moisture barrier property, and performance of the alternative solar cell encapsulants based on PU/PVDC blend reinforced with different types of cellulose nanocrystals

Abstract Two different types of cellulose nanocrystals, derived from water hyacinth fibers and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), were prepared using an acid hydrolysis treatment. These cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were further used as barrier enhancing fillers for polyurethane (PU) blended with 25 ...
