The influence of silane surface modification on microcrystalline cellulose characteristics

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) can be a reinforcement in composites, especially after surface modification. In this paper, MCC was modified using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in the following ratios (MCC/ APTES): 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10).
