TL;DR: The hydrolytic potential of the cellulase mixture was found to be considerably affected by the nature of the substrates, especially their crystallinity and morphology, which affected the rate of enzymatic degradation of the nanofibril films much faster compared to the other types of cellulosic films.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the variations registered in QCM frequency and dissipation of the film are indicative of mass and morphological transformations due to enzyme activities; these include binding phenomena, progressive degradation of the cellulose film, existence of residual, recalcitrant cellulose fragments, and the occurrence of other less apparent changes throughout the course of incubation.
