Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) Bundles: Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamic Simulation

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is a promising biodegradable nanomaterial with outstanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties for many applications. Although aligned CNCs can self-assemble into bundles, their mechanical performance is reduced by interfacial strength between CNCs and a twist...
