Surface functionalization and size modulate the formation of reactive oxygen species and genotoxic effects of cellulose nanofibrils
Abstract Background Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for a broad range of applications.The fibrous nature and high biopersistence of CNFs call for a thorough toxicity assessment, but it is presently unclear which physico-chemical properties could play a role in determining the potential
