Humidity and Multiscale Structure Govern Mechanical Properties and Deformation Modes in Films of Nat
Get the full paper here: Biomacromolecules, 14, 4497 (2013). Nanopapers formed by stiff and strong native cellulose nanofibrils are emerging as mechanically robust and sustainable materials to replace high-performance plastics or as flexible, transparent and “green” substrates for organic electronics. The mechanical properties endowed by nanofibrils crucially depend on mastering structure formation processes and on understanding interfibrillar interactions as well as deformat
