Modern technology has enabled the isolation of nanocellulose from plant-based fibers, and
the current trend focuses on utilizing nanocellulose in a broad range of sustainable …

There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-
performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers …

The current structural models of the cellulose microfibril as well as its mechanical and
thermal properties are reviewed. The cellulose microfibril can be considered as a single thin …

Molecular modeling has been performed on three cellulosic systems: the two native
crystalline phases (Iα and Iβ) and an amorphous phase, constituted by four independent …

A systematic study of the degree of molecular ordering and swelling of different
nanocellulose model films has been conducted. Crystalline cellulose II surfaces were …

The average lateral dimensions of cellulose microfibrils in paper sheets can be determined
from the width of X‐ray Bragg peaks at half the maximum height. The method assumes it is …

This critical review describes the recent arrival of ultrathin films of cellulose. The
methodology of preparation as well as the applications of the films for fundamental research …

Plant fibers such as linen are remarkably stiff materials in the longitudinal direction of the
fiber. As plant cell walls are composites made of cellulose nanocrystals, the so-called …

Interactions of water with cellulose are of both fundamental and technological importance.
Here, we characterize the properties of water associated with cellulose using deuterium …

The effects of microfibrillated cellulose nanofibers from wood on the moisture sorption
kinetics (30% RH) of glycerol plasticized and pure high-amylopectin starch films were …
