Review of Recent Research into Cellulosic Whiskers, Their Properties and Their Application in Nanocomposite Field
TLDR
There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and deposited in a continuous fashion.About:

Short electrospun polymeric nanofibers reinforced polyimide nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the use of short electrospun fibers for the first time for the preparation of homogeneous polymer nanofiber/polymer composites and the improvement in mechanical properties by an order to magnitude compared to as-electrospun long and continuous nanofibers.

The effects of shape on the interaction of colloidal particles
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that colloids in general are apt to exhibit considerable deviations from Raoult's law and that crystalline phases retaining a fair proportion of solvent may separate from concentrated solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal Structure and Hydrogen-Bonding System in Cellulose Iβ from Synchrotron X-ray and Neutron Fiber Diffraction
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal and molecular structure of cellulose Iβ were determined using synchrotron and neutron diffraction data recorded from oriented fibrous samples prepared by aligning cellulose microcrystals from tunicin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose: the structure slowly unravels
TL;DR: A review of the information gathered on cellulose structure over the last few decades can be found in this paper, where the authors attempt to bring together basic and complex information which has been gathered on the structure of native cellulose.

Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced by Cellulose Whiskers
Journal ArticleDOI
Helicoidal self-ordering of cellulose microfibrils in aqueous suspension.
TL;DR: An in vitro system that attracts by its simplicity, where above a critical concentration the colloidal dispersion separates spontaneously into a chiral nematic liquid crystalline phase and solidifies into regularly twisted fibrillar layers that mimic the structural organization of helicoids in nature.
