Cellulose whiskers are increasingly being used as a reinforcing phase in polymer systems and their use is a growing area of importance in bionanocomposite research. Although the reinforcing effect of cellulose whiskers has been studied in various polymers, the impact of crosslinking cellulose whiskers has not been explored so far. This work deals with the development of novel cellulose nanocomposites, wherein the cellulose nanowhiskers are crosslinked with poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol). The morphology of the nanocomposite was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM), which revealed a network structure embedded in a continuous phase. The water sorption studies demonstrated that the crosslinked nanocomposites are capable of absorbing up to similar to 900% water and have potential to be used as hydrogels. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
