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 ...

Pipe rheology of microfibrillated cellulose suspensions [PDF]
Cellulose, 2019 AbstractThe shear rheology of two mechanically manufactured microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) suspensions was studied in a consistency range of 0.2–2.0% with a pipe rheometer combined with ultrasound velocity profiling. The MFC suspensions behaved at all consistencies as shear thinning power law fluids.

Moisture induced straining of the cellulosic microfibril [PDF]
Cellulose, 2021 Abstract Moisture absorption in the cell wall structure of wood is well known to induce considerable swelling of the wood exerting high expansion forces. This swelling is mainly induced by the sorptive action of the hydroxyl groups of the carbohydrate wood polymers; cellulose and hemicelluloses.

Flocculation of microfibrillated cellulose in shear flow [PDF]
Cellulose, 2012 AbstractIn this work, the rheological properties of microfibrillated cellulose suspensions under stepped flow and constant shear were studied using a combination of rotational dynamic rheometer and digital imaging. During each rheological measurement, the structure of the suspension was monitored through a transparent outer cylinder with a digital ...

Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls
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.

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]
Polymers, 2019 Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...
