Description
Summary:In article number 1703655, Maria H. Godinho and co‐workers review cellulose and cellulose‐based materials which have properties that mimic natural designs and functions. Such materials are inspired by gratings, helical filaments, structurally colored water, and stimuli‐responsive materials that exist in insects and plants. Synthetic cellulose‐based materials in the form of fibers and films are considered. The inside front cover shows a eurodium awn cross section, by scanning electron microscopy, displaying the helical arrangements of cellulose fibrils.
