Abstract Nanopaper has attracted considerable interest in the fields of films and paper research. However, the challenge of
integrating the many advantages of nanopaper still remains. Herein, we developed a facile strategy to fabricate
multifunctional nanocomposite paper (NGCP) composed of wood-derived nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and
graphene as building blocks. NFC suspension was consisted of long and entangled NFCs (10–30 nm in width)
and their aggregates. Before NGCP formation, NFC was chemically modified with a silane coupling agent to
ensure that it could interact strongly with graphene in NGCP. The resulting NGCP samples were flexible and
could… More >
