Abstract
The performance of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is complicated by several factors, primarily CNC-polymer and polymer-polymer interactions. Our current work specifically seeks to address the effects of CNC geometry, CNC-polymer and polymer-polymer interactions on the structure and non-linear mechanical performance of nanocomposites prepared using two water-soluble polymers, polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), having different morphological and structural characteristics. PEO and PVA are chosen since they are compatible with CNCs, however, they interact quite differently with CNCs and result in different reinforcement mechanisms. PEO and PVA interact with CNCs via a nucleating effect and H-bonding, which influence the polymer structure in two opposite directions. The nucleating effect tends to lead the polymer chains to form more ordered structures, whereas H-bonding interactions restrict the mobility of the polymer chains. Since PEO has weaker interactions amongst molecular chains than PVA, the properties of PEO are more significantly influenced by CNCs.

Fabrication of Poly( ε-caprolactone) Scaffolds Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibers, with and without the Addition of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:1596157.

Abstract
Biomaterial properties and controlled architecture of scaffolds are essential features to provide an adequate biological and mechanical support for tissue regeneration, mimicking the ingrowth tissues. In this study, a bioextrusion system was used to produce 3D biodegradable scaffolds with controlled architecture, comprising three types of constructs: (i) poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix as reference; (ii) PCL-based matrix reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNF); and (iii) PCL-based matrix reinforced with CNF and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANP). The effect of the addition and/or combination of CNF and HANP into the polymeric matrix of PCL was investigated, with the effects of the biomaterial composition on the constructs (morphological, thermal, and mechanical performances) being analysed. Scaffolds were produced using a single lay-down pattern of 0/90°, with the same processing parameters among all constructs being assured. The performed morphological analyses showed a satisfactory distribution of CNF within the polymer matrix and high reliability was obtained among the produced scaffolds. Significant effects on surface wettability and thermal properties were observed, among scaffolds. Regarding the mechanical properties, higher scaffold stiffness in the reinforced scaffolds was obtained. Results from the cytotoxicity assay suggest that all the composite scaffolds presented good biocompatibility. The results of this first study on cellulose and hydroxyapatite reinforced constructs with controlled architecture clearly demonstrate the potential of these 3D composite constructs for cell cultivation with enhanced mechanical properties.
