Effect of silver nanoparticles and cellulose nanocrystals on electrospun poly(lactic) acid mats: Morphology, thermal properties and mechanical behavior

- Ternary fibrous mats based on PLA, CNCs and Ag nanoparticles by electrospinning.
- Ag and/or pristine CNCs addition did not remarkably affect the fiber morphology and diameter.
- Efficiency of surfactant use in promoting the CNCs dispersion.
- The surfactant modified CNCs presence led to the deposition of a honeycomb-like network.
- Influence of surfactant addition and morphological features on mechanical performances.
