Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Block Copolymers<br />
for Enhanced Stress Transfer Between Cellulose<br />
Polypropylene Blends<br />
still present in the films, but no other major<br />
discrepancies were observed.<br />
Compared to the plain cellulose, the<br />
Maximum % Strain was almost 4x higher for<br />
the Polyetheramine-MAPP blockcopolymer<br />
in Cellulose.<br />
Making Cellulose/Jeffamine Fibers for<br />
Cell-Growth Scaffolds: Fibers were successfully<br />
made from a cellulose with 20%<br />
Jeffamine D-230. Studies <strong>of</strong> these fibers<br />
await completion.<br />
