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 ...

Unraveling cellulose microfibrils: a twisted tale. [PDF]
Biopolymers, 2013 ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations of cellulose microfibrils are pertinent to the paper, textile, and biofuels industries for their unique capacity to characterize dynamic behavior and atomic‐level interactions with solvent molecules and cellulase enzymes.

Dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying the intimate relationship between cellulose microfibrils and cortical microtubules [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 A central question in plant cell development is how the cell wall determines directional cell expansion and therefore the final shape of the cell. As the major load-bearing component of the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are laid down transversely to ...

Lignin–Carbohydrate Nano-Sized Structures: An Evidence of Intracellular Lignin Biosynthesis? [PDF]
PlantsThe spatial localization of plant secondary cell wall polymers is a controversial issue. A relief of parallel-organized cellulose microfibrils was discovered, on the surface of which spherical nanoparticles were visualized. Spherical nanoparticles with a

Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2011 The structure of cellulose microfibrils in wood is not known in detail, despite the abundance of cellulose in woody biomass and its importance for biology, energy, and engineering. The structure of the microfibrils of spruce wood cellulose was investigated using a range of spectroscopic methods coupled to small-angle neutron and wide-angle X-ray ...

Nanostructural deformation of high-stiffness spruce wood under tension
Scientific Reports, 2021 Conifer wood is an exceptionally stiff and strong material when its cellulose microfibrils are well aligned. However, it is not well understood how the polymer components cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin co-operate to resist tensile stress in wood ...
