... and CNTs, respectively. Unlike the pure epoxy, the fractured surface of both composites showed resistance to crack propagation. Tensile properties of DNDs and CNTs composites showed enhancement of 6.4% and 2.9%, respectively. The nanocomposites also showed an increase in microhardness by 41% for DNDs...

.... In the present study, we have explored a novel biomaterial and prepared different bacterial cellulose nanocomposites (BC): (a) pure BC, (b) BC/collagen, and (c) BC/otoliths/collagen. Bacterial cellulose nanocomposite was obtained by immersion of dried cellulose into otoliths/collagen and posterior soft drying...
