The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins
including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load …

The cell walls in plants are made up of just four basic building blocks: cellulose (the main
structural fibre of the plant kingdom) hemicellulose, lignin and pectin. Although the …

The biodegradability and mechanical properties of polysaccharides are dependent on their
architecture (linear or branched) as well as their crystallinity (size of crystals and crystallinity …

Wood‐derived cellulose materials obtained by structure‐retaining delignification are
attracting increasing attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and great …

Bone materials are characterized by an astonishing variability and diversity. Still, because of
'architectural constraints' due to once chosen material constituents and their physical …

The increasing demand for functional materials and an efficient use of sustainable resources
makes the search for new material systems an ever growing endeavor. With this respect …

This review critically examines the various ways in which the mechanical properties of wood
have been understood. Despite the immense global importance of wood in construction …

Vibration reduction has always been one of hot and important topics in mechanical
engineering, especially for the special measurement instrument. In this paper, a novel limb …

The work on cellulose fiber composites is typically strictly divided into two separated
research fields depending on the fiber origin, that is, from wood and from annual plants …

The typical strength of wood make it suitable as a structural material. Under load, natural
wood exhibits a small strain within the elastic range. Such elasticity is associated with fast …
