This article attempts to provide a review of select and highly functional biomass concepts from a United States Department of Agriculture-sponsored work ?BioSUCCEED? at North Carolina State University that focuses specifically on cellulose nanocrystals, a sustainable, robust, and potentially powerful vehicle for improved engineered composites.  acellulose  amechanical properties  aCelulose  aPropriedade Mecânica  aNanocomposite  aNanocompósito  aNanocristal  aNanocrystal1 aHABIBI, Y.1 aMAGALHAES, W.
