This paper systematically reviews the research on chemically modified cellulose/epoxy resin composites in the last five years, focusing on their thermal, mechanical, and dynamic-mechanical properties. This methodology helps identify the main knowledge gaps in the field.
Cellulose and its derivatives are widely explored for films and thickening of pharmaceutical solutions, in paints, as reinforcement in composites, among others. This versatility is due to advantages such as renewability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. When used in polymer composites, due to the hydrophilic character of the cellulose, surface chemical modification is highly recommended to improve its compatibility with the polymeric matrix. Hence, this paper presents a systematic review of chemically modified cellulose/epoxy resin composites focusing on the last five years. The investigation followed the PRISMA protocol that delivers a meticulous summary of all available primary research in response to a research question. After including/excluding steps, thirty-six studies were included in the review. The results were presented focusing on thermal, mechanical and dynamic-mechanical properties of the composites. In brief, this methodology helped identifying the main gaps in knowledge in that field.
