Exploring the Nature of Cellulose Microfibrils

open access: yesBiomacromolecules, 2015
Ultrathin cellulose microfibril fractions were extracted from spruce wood powder using combined delignification, TEMPO-catalyzed oxidation, and sonication processes. Small-angle X-ray scattering of these microfibril fractions in a "dilute" aqueous suspension (concentration 0.077 wt %) revealed that their shape was in the form of nanostrip with 4 nm ...

Development of composite films based on thermoplastic starch and cellulose microfibrils from Colombian agroindustrial wastes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2014
Composite materials are produced using thermoplastic starch reinforced with cellulose microfibrils. The cellulose microfibrils are isolated from two different sources and their reinforcement capacity was evaluated.

On the ultrastructure of cellulose microfibrils

Journal of Polymer Science Part A: General Papers, 1965
AbstractStatistical formulae based on generally accepted models for cellulose microfibril structure were developed to calculate the mean length of microfibril segments which do not contain molecular chain‐ends, i.e., “continuous segments.” The calculated length of such “continuous segments” for microfibrils of 2–3 mμ cross section, containing molecules

Cellulose Microfibril Twist, Mechanics, and Implication for Cellulose Biosynthesis

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2013
All-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, 2008
A 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 ...
