This work tackles the disadvantages in the production of functionalized nanofibers from biomass and offers a new methodology to nanofiber-reinforced composite manufacturing. A vapor-phase-assisted surface polymerization (VASP) method has been used to develop surface-modified lignocellulosic nanofibers. Through the vaporized monomers during polymerization, the polymer chains can be introduced deep within oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMFs) due to their unique porous structure. After OPMFs are modifi ...[more]
