Synthetic pectin-cellulose nanofiber capsule provides minimal model capturing mechanics of a regenerating plant cell wall

Cyrille Grandjean, Ravi Shanker, Sarah A. Pfaff, Anran Mao, Jordi Chan, Sophie Asnacios, Atef Asnacios, Sulin Zhang, Daniel J. Cosgrove, Enrico Coen, Anna Justina Svagan, Pauline Durand-Smet

The paper constructs a synthetic pectin-cellulose nanofiber capsule to mimic the mechanical properties of regenerating plant cell walls and finds that thickness-dependent stiffness is similar to natural walls.
