However, hydrophobic polymers and hydrophilic nanofillers are intrinsically incompatible, making it difficult to mix them homogeneously. Here, we propose the swelling-based particle adsorption method (SPA) providing a simple route to disperse cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) within incompatible polypropylene (PP) matrix without surface functionalization of CNFs. The SPA enables CNFs to adsorb onto the surface of PP particles using a small amount of solvent. PP/CNFs composite films fabricated from the SPA showed increased Young's modulus by 80%, which agrees well with a theoretical prediction proving nano-dispersed. Furthermore, simply mixing a bit of polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride can improve the tensile strength by 30% and the elongation at break by 10-fold than that of PP/CNFs composites. The SPA can be universally applied to any incompatible polymernanofiller pairs for the fabrication of nanocomposite materials. 收起
