Linking cellulose nanomaterial properties and applications

Linking cellulose nanomaterial properties and applications Strength The theoretical strength of individual cellulose elementary fibril is high; estimates for the elastic modulus range from 65 GPa to 145 GPa depending on the raw material and the measuring method. 1 The elastic modulus of cellulose nanocrystals has been estimated to be around 137–150 GPa 2 and
