Nanoparticle-driven growth enhances mechanical properties of flax stems

Abstract While nanoparticle uptake by plants has primarily been studied for environmental remediation, its purposeful use to enhance plant structural and mechanical properties remains unexplored. We hypothesized that cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), introduced into the growth medium, could be absorbed b...
