Hybrids and multifunctional nanocomposites

For several years, we are interested in the ability of cellulose nanocrystals to disperse carbon nanotubes in aqueous media by forming hybrids where the nanocrystals line up along the nanotubes. We have modeled the dispersion process.
From these hybrids, we have formed multilayer LBL films, Pickering emulsions and high porosity foams with controlled architecture that have multifunctional properties derived from those of nanocrystals or nanotubes.
