Abstract Natural nanofibers, e.g., cellulose nanofiber (CNF) of plant, collagen fibril in human body and fibroin fiber in spider silk, show interesting and distinctive atomistic mechanisms in deformation under mechanical loading as well as exhibition of extraordinary strength. These fibers are comprising more larger bulk and wire materials by constructing structural hierarchy. However, the initiation of unique behavior of these materials largely originates from atomic-scale and chemical energetics in loading. Besides, the experimental approach is often difficult and is too limited to reveal the basic mechanism. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify atomic behavior of these… More >
