✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The preparation of nanofibrillar composite (NFC) materials using single‐polymer nanofibrils as starting materials is described. Such a possibility is offered by (i) the concept of polymer/polymer NFCs, which have recently been manufactured and represent a further development in the field of microfibril‐reinforced composites, and (ii) the opportunity to isolate neat nanofibrils through selective dissolving of the second blend component. The resulting nanofibrillar single‐polymer composites are characterized by superior mechanical properties (the tensile modulus and strength are improved up to 350%), competing with glass‐fiber‐reinforced PET.

The current work is a major extension of two very different studies carried out previously to investigate factors that affect the peel strength of single-polymer composites produced by the Leeds hot compaction process. First, it was found that the peel strength was significantly increased by introdu
