The parallel arrangement of the surviving cellulose nanofibres gives nanowood its properties. (newscientist.com)
Together, these strip out the cell walls in wood, made up of lignin and hemicellulose, leaving just the skeletal nanofibres of cellulose. (newscientist.com)
Specific interactions between the gel nanofibres and the drugs meant that high loadings could be achieved, and more importantly, the release of the drug could be precisely controlled. (sciencedaily.com)
