Hydrogen bonds and twist in cellulose microfibrils. [PDF]

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017
There is increasing experimental and computational evidence that cellulose microfibrils can exist in a stable twisted form. In this study, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the importance of intrachain hydrogen bonds on the twist in cellulose microfibrils.

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 ...

Structural changes in sugarcane bagasse cellulose caused by enzymatic hydrolysis

Journal of Wood Science, 2020
Cellulose I is not completely saccharified to glucose at a low cellulase concentration. In this study, sugarcane cellulose saccharification residues were investigated.

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.

Hemicellulose binding and the spacing of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood

Cellulose, 2020
Cellulose microfibrils in conifers, as in other woody materials, are aggregated into loose bundles called macrofibrils. The centre-to-centre spacing of the microfibrils within these macrofibrils can be estimated from the position of a broad diffraction ...

Antibacterial paperboard packaging using microfibrillated cellulose [PDF]

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2015
The industry and consumers are focusing more and more on the development of biodegradable and lightweight food-packaging materials, which could better preserve the quality of the food and improve its shelf-life. In an attempt to meet these requirements, this study presents a novel bio-substrate able to contain active bio-molecules for future food ...

Spatial consistency of cell growth direction during organ morphogenesis requires CELLULOSE SYNTHASE INTERACTIVE1

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Extracellular matrices contain fibril-like polymers often organized in parallel arrays. Although their role in morphogenesis has been long recognized, it remains unclear how the subcellular control of fibril synthesis translates into organ shape.

Preferred crystallographic orientation of cellulose in plant primary cell walls

Nature Communications, 2020
Cellulose is synthesized as microfibrils of β-1,4-linked glucan chains arranged in a crystalline lattice. Here Ye et al. use grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering to show that cellulose crystals are preferentially orientated parallel to the plant
