Exploring the Nature of Cellulose Microfibrils
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]
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, 1965AbstractStatistical 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, 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 ...
