Role of Polysaccharides on Mechanical and Adhesion Properties of Flax Fibres in Flax/PLA Biocomposite

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, 2011
The effect of alkali and enzymatic treatments on flax fibre morphology, mechanical, and adhesion properties was investigated. The multilength scale analysis allows for the correlation of the fibre's morphological changes induced by the treatments with ...

Subdigital integumentary microstructure in Cyrtodactylus (Squamata: Gekkota): do those lineages with incipiently expressed toepads exclusively exhibit adhesive setae?

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology
In taxa such as insects, spiders, bats, frogs, and lizards, adhesive structures at the distal ends of their limbs have independently evolved, enabling the animals to adhere to inclined or even inverted surfaces. The adhesive apparatus of geckos functions

Stimulus‐Induced Self‐Reinforcement in Supramolecular Bamboo Plastics toward Mechanical Robustness and Programmable Shapeability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐reinforcement strategy is reported for the fabrication of bamboo plastics utilizing ethanol to induce the supramolecular network reconstruction of cellulose and polyacrylamide molecules. These bamboo plastics exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability, resistance to low temperatures, and controllable shapeability.

THE SIZE OF THE CELLULOSE MICROFIBRIL [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 1963
Recently the lateral width of the cellulose microfibril has been estimated as 30 A rather than about 150 to 200 A, by extrapolation of data from model shadowing experiments. The difference was attributed to a layer of metal deposited during shadowing.

Unlocking Plant‐Derived Potential: Regulating Microcrystalline Structure Design of High‐performance Hard Carbon Anodes via Cellulose Molecules

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The microcrystalline structure of hard carbon derived from green sandalwood is modulated by controlling the steric hindrance effect of the precursor, thereby significantly enhancing ion diffusion kinetics. When utilized in sodium‐ion batteries, it demonstrates excellent cycle life, exceeding 7000 cycles, as well as superior low‐temperature performance,

The influence of draw ratio on morphology and thermal properties of MFCs based on PP and PET [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The main goal of this study is to investigate the influence of draw ratio on morphology and properties in microfibrillar composites (MFCs). In situ MFCs based on polypropylene (PP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been prepared at the weight ...
