The conformational change of single nanocellulose during drying process was investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation and atomic force microscopic observation. Single nanocellulose showed continuous twisted morphology in the aqueous colloidal dispersion system. The twist became localized during attaching on a solid surface, and the morphology remained after the drying of water. The effect of polymer grafting onto nanocellulose on the morphology was also discussed at the atomic scale.
