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 ...

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.

Slow dynamics in a model of the cellulose network [PDF]
, 2007 We present numerical simulations of a model of cellulose consisting of long stiff rods, representing cellulose microfibrils, connected by stretchable crosslinks, representing xyloglucan molecules, hydrogen bonded to the microfibrils. Within a broad range

MFC concept as a possible solution for closed-loop recycling of food packaging trays [PDF]
, 2020 Flexible plastic films from food packaging trays make up one of the largest fractions of the plastic waste stream and recycling is one of the most important actions to deal with this fraction, reducing the impact of these plastics on the environment ...

Cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Knowledge of the control and regulation of cellulose synthesis is fundamental to an understanding of plant development since cellulose is the primary structural component of plant cell walls.

Mechanical adaptations of cleavers (Galium aparine) [PDF]
, 2004 • Background and Aims Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a fast-growing herbaceous annual with a semi-self-supporting, scrambling-ascending growth habit. Mature plants often use upright species for support. It is common in hedgerows and on waste ground. This

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.

Microfibrillar cardiomyopathy: A rare case
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2011 Microfibrillar cardiomyopathy is a very rare cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). The index case was a male patient who presented with shortness of breath and pedal edema. Further clinical investigations favored a clinical diagnosis of RCM.

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

Spatial relationships between polymers in Sitka spruce: proton spin-diffusion studies [PDF]
, 2006 The spatial arrangement of polymers in Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) was investigated by NMR proton spin-diffusion studies, supplemented by deuterium-exchange experiments monitored by FTIR spectroscopy.
