Molecular Origins of Emulsification by Polysaccharide Nanofibers: Effects of Crystal Surfaces and Chemical Structure
Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) are biocompatible and biodegradable Pickering emulsifiers with excellent emulsifying capacity. However, the molecular origins of their emulsifying capacity remain unclear. Here, we combined emulsification experiments with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to e...
