Abstract
Surface acetylation of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) was investigated to enhance compatibility with triacetin-plasticized cellulose diacetate (CA). This modification reduced fibre agglomeration, doubling the Young’s modulus at the 15% loading, though tensile strength remained largely unchanged.
