Anomalous scaling law of strength and toughness of cellulose nanopaper
Open accessAbstract
Significance: A long-standing challenge in material design is to overcome the conflict between strength and toughness, because they are generally mutually exclusive. To address this challenge, we rationally design cellulose-based nanopaper and investigate the dependence of their mechanical properties on constituent cellulose fiber size. Surprisingly, we find that both the strength and toughness of the nanopaper increase simultaneously (40 and 130 times, respectively) as the average diameter of constituent cellulose fibers decreases from 27 μm to 11 nm, suggesting the promising potential toward an anomalous but highly desirable scaling law: the smaller, the stronger and the tougher. There are abundant opportunities to use the fundamental bottom-up strategy to design a novel class of functional materials that are both strong and tough.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
