Abstract [en]
The nano- to microscale structures at the interface between materials can define the macroscopic material properties. These structures are extremely difficult to investigate for complex material systems, such as cellulose-rich materials. The development of new model cellulose materials and measuring techniques has opened new possibilities to resolve this problem. We present a straightforward approach combining micro-focusing grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the structural rearrangements of cellulose/cellulose interfaces in situ during drying. Based on the results, we propose that molecular interdiffusion and structural rearrangement play a major role in the development of the properties of the cellulose/cellulose interphase; this model is representative of the development of the properties of joint/contact points between macroscopic cellulose fibers.
