Abstract:Nanocellulose has emerged as a widely utilized building block in nanostructured materials due to its availability, sustainability, large surface area, and high stiffness and aspect ratio. The wet or dry elastoplastic properties of these materials are determined by the fibrils' stiffness, chemical properties, hemicellulose content, and the number of fibril contacts. However, the specific contributions and relative importance of each factor remain unclear. Therefore, this work was devoted to systematically compa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
