Superelastic, Hygroscopic, and Ionic Conducting Cellulose Nanofibril Monoliths by 3D Printing

Yuan Chen et al.

Summary: A compressible and superelastic 3D-printed cellulose nanofibril monolith with high performance in elasticity, compressibility, and pressure sensitivity was achieved through hierarchical architecture design and the addition of hygroscopic salt. This design strategy is expected to expand to materials beyond cellulose and have broader applications in flexible sensors, thermal insulation, and other fields.
