Cellulose Microfibril Twist, Mechanics, and Implication for Cellulose Biosynthesis
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013All-atom molecular dynamics simulations with explicit water solvent were used to investigate the microstructure and conformational dynamics of cellulose Iβ microfibrils as a function of microfibril length and cross-sectional size and shape. Cellulose microfibrils quickly develop a right-handed twist, which then remains stable over the entire 10 ns ...

The parallel lives of microtubules and cellulose microfibrils
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2008A major breakthrough was the recent discovery that cellulose synthases really do move along the plasma membrane upon tracks provided by the underlying cortical microtubules. It emphasized the cytoplasmic contribution to cell wall organization. A growing number of microtubule-associated proteins has been identified and shown to affect the way that ...

Localization of Crystalline Allomorphs in Cellulose Microfibril
Biomacromolecules, 2009We report an FTIR spectroscopic technique combined with intracrystalline deuteration and rehydrogenation of cellulose samples to investigate the localization of I(alpha) and I(beta) domains within a cellulose microfibril obtained from I(alpha)-rich algae.

Extensional viscosity of microfibrillated cellulose suspensions
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2014The extensional properties of micro fibrillated cellulose (MFC)-suspensions at different fibril concentrations and with different amounts of added sodium chloride were evaluated. The MFC-suspensions were obtained by diluting a stock solution consisting of 0.95 wt.% cellulose with either deionized water or sodium chloride solution, giving a series of ...

Fractional study of the microfibrillated cellulose
TAPPI Journal, 2014The extremely high aspect ratios of minuscule lignocellulosic particles make analysis and characterization problematic. New methods to quantify the size, shape, and structure of cellulose microparticles are needed. The main objective of this research has been to study the potential of a novel fractional analysis method for microparticles.

Polymer composites with cellulose microfibrils
Polymer Engineering & Science, 2007Abstract Polymer composites with cellulose microfibrils are materials with unique properties compared to existing materials: high strength, formability, and geometrical complexity at very small scale, low density, and abrasivity, biomedical compatibility, and possibility of recycling.

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2020
Waste biomass of two major milk weeds was separately given combination of chemical-mechanical treatments in order to expose natural cellulosic micro and nano-fibrillated structures (MFCs and NFCs). Compositional and FTIR analysis were initially used to confirm the removal of impurities.

A native cellulose microfibril model
Cellulose, 1998To aid in the understanding of cellulose ultrastructure, computer modelling has been employed to create a model of monoclinic (Iβ) native cellulose. This was achieved by building a chain of cellulose, which was used in a two chain unit cell. An energy minimized microfibril model was created from several of these unit cells.

The Cellulose Microfibril as an Imperfect Array of Elementary Fibrils
Macromolecules, 1975Cellulose microfibrils are viewed as imperfect array of elementary fibrils. We have investigated the possible defects in Valonia cellulose microfibrils, which are such that the microfibrils can be broken into elementary fibrils by deformation, but are not sufficient to allow for a small angle maximum corresponding to the elementary fibril dimension ...

Process for the production of microfibrillated cellulose and produced microfibrillated cellulose
2010A process for producing microfibrillated cellulose comprises providing a slurry comprising cellulosic fibers, treating the slurry with an enzyme, mechanically treating the slurry so that the fibers are disintegrated wherein the mechanical treatment and the treatment with the enzyme is performed simultaneously in a single treatment step.
