Published: September 2022

Atomic-scale dent structures on the surfaces of cellulose nanofibers were detected by comparing the experimentally measured and computer-simulated widths of single nanofibers. These dent parts constituted at least 30-40% of the total length of the dispersed nanofibers, and deep dents induced the kinking and fragmentation of nanofibers.
