thermoplastic nanocomposites._x000D_
Nylon and polypropylene, cellulose filament composites will be obtained using conventional polymer_x000D_
processing methods. The processing parameters as well as the additives to improve the dispersion of CF within_x000D_
the thermoplastics will be optimized._x000D_
The rheological, mechanical properties and water uptake of the composites will be evaluated._x000D_
This project is coupled with a Mitacs Accelerate Standard project and will involve the work of a post-doctoral_x000D_
