Isolation of cellulose microfibrils - An enzymatic approach [PDF]
BioResources, 2006 Isolation methods and applications of cellulose microfibrils are expanding rapidly due to environmental benefits and specific strength properties, especially in bio-composite science. In this research, we have success-fully developed and explored a novel

A finger-jointing model for describing ultrastructures of cellulose microfibrils [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In this paper, we propose a finger-jointing model to describe the possible ultrastructures of cellulose microfibrils based on new observations obtained through heating of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs ...

Diffraction evidence for the structure of cellulose microfibrils in bamboo, a model for grass and cereal celluloses. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2015 Background: Cellulose from grasses and cereals makes up much of the potential raw material for biofuel production. It is not clear if cellulose microfibrils from grasses and cereals differ in structure from those of other plants.

Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks and van der Waals forces.
