Abstract
⺠Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with ester end group were prepared. ⺠The functionalized CNCs reacted with the amino groups of chitosan (CH). ⺠Bionanocomposites based on chitosan covalently bonded to CNCs were obtained. ⺠Improvements in mechanical and water resistance properties were achieved. ⺠The approach used in this work can be extended to other natural polymers.
