Fiber-based artificial muscles with excellent actuation performance are gaining great
attention as soft materials for flexible actuators; however, current advances in fiber-based …

Wood represents a highly suitable biobased scaffold for the development of mechanically
robust and functional materials. Its functionalizability can be enhanced by means of …

Formulating materials into structured configurations is important to improve CO 2 capture
efficiency. Here, the hydrophobic polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) …

The aim of this study is to determine how the mechanical behavior of natural fibers is
affected by the environmental and internal relative humidity, especially on the fiber-matrix …

Regenerated cellulose fibers are produced using two industrially dominant technologies: the
viscose and lyocell processes. Here, we compare commercially available fibers, prepared …

Viscoelastic properties are often measured using probe based techniques such as
nanoindentation (NI) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Rarely, however, are these …

For the first time, a multiplanar photonic crystal structure has been obtained using cellulose
as a structural material. This all-polymer system, made of cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and …

Cellulosic materials are highly sensitive towards environmental changes such as
temperature and especially towards humidity. Besides morphological changes like swelling …

Conductive yarns were successfully prepared through the assembly and reduction of
graphene oxide on the surface of viscose yarns and the relationship between network …

The increasing use of composite components in various engineering disciplines
necessitates detailed comprehension of their operation. When subjected to adverse …
