In-situ polymerized cellulose

This chapter will focus on in-situ polymerized cellulose nanocomposites, as this technique is relatively new and becoming popular among the material scientists due to added advantages over conventional nanocomposite fabrication techniques like solution dispersion or melt mixing. 

An interesting work was carried out by Banerjee et al. [65] in the area of in-situ polymerized cellulose nanocomposites. They surface treated extracted cellulose nanofibers with methyl methacrylate monomer (MCNF) and PMMA/cellulose nanocomposites (MMIPC) were formed by in-situ suspension polymerization process.
