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:

Fabrication of cellulose nanowhiskers reinforced chitosan-xylan nanocomposite films with antibacterial and antioxidant activities.
TL;DR: The prepared chitosan-xylan/CNW nanocomposite films, combined the antibacterial property of chitOSan, the antioxidant property of xylan, and good mechanical property of CNW, could be potentially applied in food and health-related areas.

Decorating in green: surface esterification of carbon and cellulosic nanoparticles
TL;DR: Fischer esterification of surface hydroxyl groups on multiwalled carbon nanotubes, carbon nanospheres, and cellulosic nanowhiskers using acetic and butyric acid is presented as a green approach to decorate the surfaces of nanoparticles.

Reinforced plastics and aerogels by nanocrystalline cellulose
TL;DR: In this article, Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), a rigid rod-like nanoscale material, can be produced from cellulosic biomass in powder, liquid, or gel forms by acid and chemical hydrolysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy for the formation of thin reconstituted cellulose films (pure or modified) with embedded receptors or embedded ion-selective components is reported, where poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) or PDDAC is readily embedded into the cellulose film and imparts anion permselectivity to allow binding and transport of hydrophobic anions.

Reinforcement of Natural Rubber: The Use of in Situ Regenerated Cellulose from Alkaline–Urea–Aqueous System
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of natural rubber (NR) latex and cellulose alkaline-urea-aqueous solution was used for reinforcement of elastomers, during which NR latex particles were demulsificated to form the polymeric matrix while the porous honeycomb-like RC phase was also generated due to the coagulant-induced gelation, indicating that both the matrix and the filler were synchronously formed by the bottom-up route.

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.

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.

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.

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.
