Plant cell wall-inspired synthesis of biomolecular self-assembled stiff hydrogels

Abstract A challenge in gel science is the construction of hydrogels with high stiffness, particularly at ultralow solid contents. In this study, we are inspired by the biosynthesis of plant cell walls. In plants, cellulose chains synthesized by enzymes crystallize in situ into nanofibers, which coa...
