(a) Schematic of a GO–NFC hybrid microfiber consisting of aligned GO nanosheets and NFC fibers along the microfiber direction. The synergistic interaction between NFC and GO leads to greatly improved mechanical strength, elastic modulus and toughness. (b) Structural representation of how metal ion (Ca2+) infiltration further increases the bonding between building blocks in the hybrid microfiber. GO, graphene oxide; NFC, nanofibrillated cellulose.
