Effect of TDI-Assisted Hydrophobic Surface Modification of Microcrystalline Cellulose on the Tensile Fracture of MCC/PLA Composite, and Estimation of the Degree of Substitution by Linear Regression.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was modified using toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reaction was set up for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 24 h at 75 °C. Th...
