Structure and properties of the cellulose microfibril

Journal of Wood Science, 2009
The current structural models of the cellulose microfibril as well as its mechanical and thermal properties are reviewed. The cellulose microfibril can be considered as a single thin and long crystalline entity with highly anisotropic physical properties.

Microfibril orientation dominates the microelastic properties of human bone tissue at the lamellar length scale. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The elastic properties of bone tissue determine the biomechanical behavior of bone at the organ level. It is now widely accepted that the nanoscale structure of bone plays an important role to determine the elastic properties at the tissue level.

Latent Transforming Growth Factor β-binding Protein 1 Interacts with Fibrillin and Is a Microfibril-associated Protein [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Latent transforming growth factor β-binding protein 1 (LTBP-1) targets latent complexes of transforming growth factor β to the extracellular matrix, where the latent cytokine is subsequently activated by several different mechanisms.

Extracellular microfibrils in development and disease

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007
Fibrillins are the structural components of extracellular microfibrils that impart physical properties to tissues, alone or together with elastin as elastic fibers. Genetic studies in mice have revealed that fibrillin-rich microfibrils are also involved in regulating developmental programs and homeostatic processes through the modulation of TGF-beta ...

Microstructure and rheology of microfibril-polymer networks.

Soft Matter, 2015
By using an adsorbing polymer in combination with mechanical de-agglomeration, the microstructure and rheological properties of networks of microfibrils could be controlled.

New insights into the structural role of EMILINs within the human skin microenvironment [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Supramolecular extracellular matrix (ECM) networks play an essential role in skin architecture and function. Elastin microfibril interface-located proteins (EMILINs) comprise a family of three extracellular glycoproteins that serve as essential ...

Nanoscale Mechanism of Moisture-Induced Swelling in Wood Microfibril Bundles

Nano letters (Print), 2022
Understanding nanoscale moisture interactions is fundamental to most applications of wood, including cellulosic nanomaterials with tailored properties. By combining X-ray scattering experiments with molecular simulations and taking advantage of computed ...

Deswelling of microfibril bundles in drying wood studied by small-angle neutron scattering and molecular dynamics

Cellulose, 2021
Structural changes of cellulose microfibrils and microfibril bundles in unmodified spruce cell wall due to drying in air were investigated using time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The scattering analysis was supported with dynamic vapor

Fabrication of Ionic Cellulose Nanofiber Composites by Electrospinning Cellulose Microfibril-Gel-Dispersions in Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Solution

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this study, we propose a fabrication method to obtain composites of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ionic cellulose nanofibers, in which a fiber structure is manipulated through a reconstruction of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO ...
