Figure 6: Structure and mechanical properties of the filament.
From: Hydrodynamic alignment and assembly of nanofibrils resulting in strong cellulose filaments
(a) Diffractogram of the strongest and stiffest filament (case A), where IDG denotes the intermodular detector gap and the scale bar is 10 nm−1. (b) Radial integration of the diffractogram shown in a. (c) Azimuthal integration of the (200) scattering plane of the diffractogram shown in a (case A) as well as an integration from case D. (d) Stress–strain plot of 10 filaments from cases A–D. (e) Strain-to-failure versus specific Young’s modulus for cellulose pulp fibres, filaments and films made from CNF and the hydrodynamically assembled filaments of this study. The angle represents the angle of the CNF towards the filament or fibre axis in case of filaments and towards the tensile testing axis in the case of films.
