Hygrothermal effects on the mechanical behaviour of all-cellulose composites

Status: Current

Māori Relevant Content: No

Project Abstract

This project explores the effects of moisture and temperature on the mechanical properties of single-polymer composites based on cellulose. The project is also examines innovative ways of preventing moisture uptake in this class of high strength bio-based composites.
