Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals are promising as a new class of reinforcing material for the preparation of nanostructured composites. We report here preparation of cellulose nanocrystals multilayer composite with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) using layer-by-layer assembly technique. The LBL assembly was characterized with UV-vis absorbance and ellipsometry. Average thickness of a single bilayer was found to be 11 nm. AFM and SEM characterization revealed uniform coverage and densely packed cellulose crystal surface.
