Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the
