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 ...

BMC Genomics, 2011 Background The mechanical properties of wood are largely determined by the orientation of cellulose microfibrils in secondary cell walls. Several genes and their allelic variants have previously been found to affect microfibril angle (MFA) and wood ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 While it is known that modifying the hydroxyls in wood can improve the decay resistance; what is often missing in the literature is whether these modifications alter wood nanostructure, and how these changes correlate to the improved decay resistance ...

XTH acts at the microfibril-matrix interface during cell elongation [PDF]
, 2005 Sulphorhodamine-labelled oligosaccharides of xyloglucan are incorporated into the cell wall of Arabidopsis and tobacco roots, and of cultured Nicotiana tabacum cells by the transglucosylase (XET) action of XTHs.

Wood anatomy of boreal species in a warming world: a review
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020 Global warming is affecting tree growth and forest productivity, especially in the Northern boreal ecosystems. Wood quality, which is largely determined by anatomical traits of wood, is vital for the forest industry and global carbon sequestration ...

Structure, function and assembly of soybean primary cell wall cellulose synthases
eLifePlant cell walls contain a meshwork of cellulose fibers embedded into a matrix of other carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate-based biopolymers. This composite material exhibits extraordinary properties, from stretchable and pliable cell boundaries to solid ...

Microfibril Angles and Crystalline Properties of Reaction Woods in Agathis and Sumatran Pine Woods
Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2023 The microfibril angles (MFAs), relative crystallinity index (RC), and crystallite width (CrW) of compression wood (CPW), lateral wood (LTW), and opposite wood (OPW) in Agathis (Agathis loranthifolia) and Sumatran Pine (Pinus merkusii) stem wood were ...

Hierarchical nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils [PDF]
, 2010 Collagen constitutes one third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity and strength to connective tissues. Collagen is also the dominating material in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is thus crucial for cell differentiation ...
