AB  - An effective approach for the dispersion of hydrophilic cellulose nanofiber (CNF) 
      in hydrophobic high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is presented using adsorption of 
      a diblock copolymer dispersant. The dispersant consists of both resin compatible 
      poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) and cellulose interactive poly(2-hydroxyethyl 
      methacrylate) blocks. The PLMA-adsorbed CNFs are characterized by FT-IR and 
      contact angle measurement, revealing successful hydrophobization. X-ray CT 
      imaging shows there are apparently less CNF aggregates in the nanocomposites if 
      adding amount of the dispersant was enough. The good dispersion results in a high 
      mechanical reinforcement, corresponding to 140% higher Young's modulus and 84% 
      higher tensile strength than the neat HDPE. This approach is broadly applicable 
      and allows for easy manufacturing process for strong and lightweight 
      CNF-reinforced nanocomposite materials.
