ABSTRACT Rationale Hemicelluloses are abundant carbohydrate components in plant cell walls. They play a crucial structural role in binding cellulose microfibrils, in addition to other biological functions. Their high structural variability directly influences their biological properties, making it important to establish a structure–function ...

Swelling of Valonia Cellulose Microfibrils in Amine Oxide Systems
in pressCellulose microfibrils from Valonia ventricosa cell-wall fragments were immersed into molten N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMO. H2O), stabilized with n-propyl gallate and kept at 80°C. The resulting ultrastructural modifications, which

The role of calcium in the organization of fibrillin microfibrils
The microfibrillar glycoprotein fibrillin has a multidomain structure which contains forty‐three epidermal growth factor‐like motifs with calciumbinding consensus sequences. We have utilized intact microfibrils isolated from human dermal fibroblast cultures to investigate the putative influence of bound calcium on microfibrillar organization and ...

Extracellular matrix microfibrils are composed of core proteins coated with fibronectin.
Extracellular proteins of cultured calf aortic smooth muscle cells consist predominantly of microfibrils 10-20 nm in diameter typical of "elastin-associated" microfibrils described in many tissues.

Electrical Breakdown Analysis of Emerging Oil–Paper Insulation Systems
ABSTRACT This investigation addresses the effect of particulate additives on the electrical breakdown strength of the oil impregnated insulation paper system. The morphological complexity is addressed by converting data from scanning electron microscope images to a data set suitable for numerical simulation analysis. Then, by using the conventional oil‐

Deterioration Law of Mechanical Properties of Insulation Pressboard Under Multifield Coupled Ageing
ABSTRACT Converter transformers can experience progressive deterioration of their oil–pressboard insulation under elevated temperature, combined AC–DC electrical stress and persistent mechanical vibration. This study investigates how mechanical vibration affects the mechanical properties of insulation pressboard and clarifies the associated microscopic

The identification of glycoproteins associated with elastic-tissue microfibrils
Cell cultures derived from foetal bovine ligamentum nuchae accumulate extracellular fibrils morphologically identical with elastic-tissue microfibrils. Two glycoproteins synthesized by the ligament cells are closely related to the matrix microfibrils as ...
