39. The maximum chain distance (L) of the octadecylamide group was calculated by using L = nl cos(0/2), where the attached group was assumed to crystallize into an extended state n = 18, l = 0.154 nm, and 0 = 109.5°.
40. 40 wt % is the estimated maximum UHMWPE concentration in the MCNF/UHMWPE gel at the surface of MCNF, corresponding to the UHMWPE concentration at the outer rim of MCNF when the attached octadecylamide chain (n = 18) is fully extended; 0 wt % is the minimum UHMWPE concentration, corresponding to the concentration at the interface which is entirely occupied by the octadecylamide chains.
