Size effects on the nanomechanical properties of cellulose I nanocrystals

Creator:

Pakzad, Anahita, Simonsen, John, Heiden, Patricia A., and Yassar, Reza S.

Abstract:

The ultimate properties of a fibrous composite system depend highly on the transverse mechanical properties of the fibers. Here, we report the size dependency of transverse elastic modulus in cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). In addition, the mechanical properties of CNCs prepared from wood and cotton resources were investigated. Nanoindentation in an...
