Composites Part C: Open Access, 2022 The cellulose microfibril realignment of unitary flax fibres with contrasted density of structural defects, which are also known as dislocations and defined as zones of microstructure heterogeneities, was investigated upon tensile testing by means of X ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multiscale approach including microfibril scale to assess elastic constants of cortical bone based on neural network computation and homogenization method [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2014 The complexity and heterogeneity of bone tissue require a multiscale modeling to understand its mechanical behavior and its remodeling mechanisms. In this paper, a novel multiscale hierarchical approach including microfibril scale based on hybrid neural ...

Scientific Reports, 2017 Secreted metalloproteases have diverse roles in the formation, remodeling, and the destruction of extracellular matrix. Recessive mutations in the secreted metalloprotease ADAMTS17 cause ectopia lentis and short stature in humans with Weill-Marchesani ...

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 ...

Cellulose Microfibril Formation by Surface-Tethered Cellulose Synthase Enzymes.
ACS Nano, 2016 Cellulose microfibrils are pseudocrystalline arrays of cellulose chains that are synthesized by cellulose synthases. The enzymes are organized into large membrane-embedded complexes in which each enzyme likely synthesizes and secretes a β-(1→4) glucan ...

Unraveling Cellulose Microfibrils: A Twisted Tale [PDF]
Biopolymers, 2013 ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations of cellulose microfibrils are pertinent to the paper, textile, and biofuels industries for their unique capacity to characterize dynamic behavior and atomic‐level interactions with solvent molecules and cellulase enzymes.

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.
