Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
The structure of cellulose microfibrils in wood is not known in detail, despite the abundance of cellulose in woody biomass and its importance for biology, energy, and engineering. The structure of the microfibrils of spruce wood cellulose was investigated using a range of spectroscopic methods coupled to small-angle neutron and wide-angle X-ray ...

Nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils [PDF]

Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2013
Collagen constitutes one third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity and strength to organisms and is thus the prime construction material in biology. Collagen is also the dominating material in the extracellular matrix where its stiffness controls cell differentiation, growth and pathology.

Hierarchical nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils [PDF]

Nature Precedings, 2010
AbstractCollagen constitutes one third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity and strength to organisms and is thus the prime construction materials in biology. Collagen is also the dominating material in the extracellular matrix and its stiffness controls cell differentiation, growth and pathology. However, the origin of the

Corneal stroma microfibrils [PDF]

Experimental Eye Research, 2015
Elastic tissue was first described well over a hundred years ago and has since been identified in nearly every part of the body. In this review, we examine elastic tissue in the corneal stroma with some mention of other ocular structures which have been more thoroughly described in the past.

Structure and spacing of cellulose microfibrils in woody cell walls of dicots [PDF]

Cellulose, 2014
The structure of cellulose microfibrils in situ in wood from the dicotyledonous (hardwood) species cherry and birch, and the vascular tissue from sunflower stems, was examined by wide-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (WAXS and WANS) and small-angle ...

Fibrillin microfibrils in bone physiology [PDF]

Matrix Biology, 2016
The severe skeletal abnormalities associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA) underscore the notion that fibrillin assemblies (microfibrils and elastic fibers) play a critical role in bone formation and function in spite of representing a low abundance component of skeletal matrices.

Studies on Ramie cellulose microfibrils reinforced cassava starch composite: influence of microfibrils loading

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
Composites were fabricated from Ramie cellulose microfibrils (RCMF) with cassava starch as matrix and glycerol as a plasticizer. Different composites were fabricated with microfibrils loadings of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 10 wt%. The Particle Size Analyzer results

Diffraction evidence for the structure of cellulose microfibrils in bamboo, a model for grass and cereal celluloses [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background: Cellulose from grasses and cereals makes up much of the potential raw material for biofuel production. It is not clear if cellulose microfibrils from grasses and cereals differ in structure from those of other plants.

Isolation of cellulose microfibrils - An enzymatic approach [PDF]

BioResources, 2006
Isolation methods and applications of cellulose microfibrils are expanding rapidly due to environmental benefits and specific strength properties, especially in bio-composite science. In this research, we have success-fully developed and explored a novel

Dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying the intimate relationship between cellulose microfibrils and cortical microtubules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
A central question in plant cell development is how the cell wall determines directional cell expansion and therefore the final shape of the cell. As the major load-bearing component of the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are laid down transversely to ...
