Grafting of poly(ε‐caprolactone) from Abaca cellulose fibers via ring‐opening polymerization resulting in facile one‐pot biocomposites

Abstract As efforts to replace nonsustainable plastics increase, biocomposites from cellulose fibers and biodegradable polymers like poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) are promising candidates. The necessary adhesion between fibers and matrix can be achieved by grafting polymeric chains onto the fibers. Her...
