A preparation of CeNFs coated with PVA crystals was used to change the surface properties of the CeNFs in a way that would inhibit the aggregation of CeNFs, leading to the improvement of the dispersibility of CeNFs in composites.

The presence of nanoscale cellulosic fiber; namely cellulose nanofiber, increases year by year because the mechanical and physical properties are believed to be comparable to those of common glass fibers. On the other hand, most of the reported strength data for the cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials was not as high as expected. In order to obtain high-strength cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymer composites, we tried to optimize the fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in poly (vinyl alcohol)-based polymer matrix by using a repeated mechanical stretching treatment. The fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in the poly (vinyl alcohol) matrix can be modified by changing the total amount of stretching strain applied during the multiple stretching treatments. The degree of fiber alignment was directly evaluated by observing the cellulose nanofibers on the sample surface with a digital microscope. The efficacy of proposed nanofiber alignment control has been explored experimentally and theoretically. The tensile strength and modulus of the cellulosic nanocomposites after applying the multiple stretching treatments increased by approximately 80% and 40% respectively, as compared with those of the untreated nanocomposites.

The paper discusses a method for the realization of some polymer - drug systems in which the macromolecular support is represented by a three-dimensional network based on xanthan and poly(vinyl alcohol). Knowing that the drug (chloramphenicol) was to be inserted through a diffusion process, the support – selected according to an experimental program – had the highest degree of swelling. Several variants of chloramphenicol inclusion into the synthesized support are analyzed by studying the process kinetics. The study of chloramphenicol release from the inclusion products, in the form of films, indicated the installation of a “zero order” kinetics. The tests devoted to the system’s antimicrobial activity evidenced their biological action.
