This article recounts, from my perspective of four decades in this field, evolving paradigms of
primary cell wall structure and the mechanism of surface enlargement of growing cell walls …

In the effort toward sustainable advanced functional materials, nanocelluloses have
attracted extensive recent attention. Nanocelluloses range from rod‐like highly crystalline …

High‐strength petroleum‐based materials like plastics have been widely used in various
fields, but their nonbiodegradability has caused serious pollution problems. Cellulose, as …

Aerogel fibers garner tremendous scientific interest due to their unique properties such as
ultrahigh porosity, large specific surface area, and ultralow thermal conductivity, enabling …

Sustainable structural materials with light weight, great thermal dimensional stability, and

The aim of this study was to develop a lightweight epoxy based biocomposite for morphing
wing and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. The proposed composite was …

Undoubtedly humidity is a non-negligible and sensitive problem for cellulose, which is
usually regarded as one disadvantage to cellulose-based materials because of the …

Various types of nanocellulose have been isolated from the cellulosic feedstock. It was
expected that nanocellulose could be used to replace fossil-based plastic in certain areas …

The current materials predominately come from fossil feedstocks and minerals. The
pressures from climate change and plastic pollution challenge us to develop a bioeconomy …

Inorganic semiconductor materials are crucial for modern technologies, but their brittleness
