Biobased, elastomeric polymer poly(glycerol succinate-<i>co</i>-maleate) (PGSMA) was produced using a "green" synthesis with added cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to create a novel PGSMA-CNC material. PGSMA-CNC was synthesized with the aim of developing a new strategy for successfully dispersing CNCs within a poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix for optimal reinforcement of tensile strength and modulus while having the added benefit of the proven toughness enhancements of PLA/PGSMA blends.
