Wood Derived Cellulose Scaffolds—Processing and Mechanics
Abstract
Abstract Wood‐derived cellulose materials obtained by structure‐retaining delignification are attracting increasing attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and great potential to serve as renewable and CO 2 storing cellulose scaffolds for advanced hybrid materials with embedded functionality. Various delignification protocols and a multitude of further processing steps including polymer impregnation and densification are applied resulting in a large range of properties. However, treatment optimization requires a more comprehensive characterization of the developed materials in terms of structure, chemical composition, and mechanical properties for faster progress in the field. Herein, the current protocols for structure‐retaining delignification are reviewed and the emphasis is placed on the mechanical characterization at different hierarchical levels of the cellulose scaffolds by experiments and modeling to reveal the underlying structure–property relationships.
