Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood
Macromolecular Materials and EngineeringThis study elucidates the mechanism by which alkali treatment enhances the transparency of delignified wood, with a focus on the cellulose microfibril skeleton. Following delignification, the resulting material remains translucent due to light scattering

Nanomaterials, 2022 Cellulose nanofibrils can be derived from the native load-bearing cellulose microfibrils in wood. These microfibrils are synthesized by a cellulose synthase enzyme complex that resides in the plasma membrane of developing wood cells.

Multiscale structure of cellulose microfibrils in regenerated cellulose fibers
Carbohydrate PolymersCellulose in solution can be assembled into textile fibers by wet-spinning (Viscose etc.) or dry-jet wet spinning (Lyocell, Ioncell etc.), which leads to significant differences in the mechanical properties of fibers. We use scanning X-ray microdiffraction (SXM) to reveal regenerated fibers having a "skin-core" morphology.

Brittle Culm1, a COBRA-like protein, functions in cellulose assembly through binding cellulose microfibrils. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Cellulose represents the most abundant biopolymer in nature and has great economic importance. Cellulose chains pack laterally into crystalline forms, stacking into a complicated crystallographic structure.

Molecules, 2017 We investigated nano-structural changes of cellulose dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate—an ionic liquid (IL)—using a small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique over the entire concentration range (0–100 mol %).

Morphology and Crystallization of Polypropylene/Microfibrillated Cellulose Composites [PDF]
KMUTNB International Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2014 Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was prepared by controlling the re-precipitation of cellulose prepared in the mixture form of NaOH/Urea solubilized microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and starch. The cellulose re-precipitation was carried-out in an HCl bath, resulting in a MFC form having relatively lower crystallinity than MCC.

Microfibril diameter in celery collenchyma cellulose: X-ray scattering and NMR evidence
, 2007 Cellulose isolated from celery collenchyma is typical of the low-crystallinity celluloses that can be isolated from primary cell-walls of higher plants, except that it is oriented with high uniformity.
