Abstract:Recently, the cellulose nanofiber (CNF), which is a pure, plant-derived material, has attracted considerable attention owing to its excellent mechanical properties such as low weight (one-fifth that of steel) and high Young’s modulus (five times that of steel) as a fiber. Novel methods for producing 100% CNF bulk structural materials have been developed. However, the tribological properties of CNFs have never been investigated although their mechanical properties are well-known, which are comparable to those o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
