On the ultrastructure of cellulose microfibrils

Journal of Polymer Science Part A: General Papers, 1965
AbstractStatistical formulae based on generally accepted models for cellulose microfibril structure were developed to calculate the mean length of microfibril segments which do not contain molecular chain‐ends, i.e., “continuous segments.” The calculated length of such “continuous segments” for microfibrils of 2–3 mμ cross section, containing molecules

A note on microfibrils in polyethylene

Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B, 1974
Abstract The results of diffraction (low-angle scattering of X-rays and electrons) and electron microscopy study show a significant qualitative coincidence in studies of the morphology of oriented polyethylene films obtained from polyethylene single crystal mats. The morphology approximates the ideal description of a microfibrillar structure.

Possible Roles of Microfibrils in Elastogenesis

Connective Tissue Research, 1981
On examination in the electron microscope elastic tissue is seen to consist of an amorphous component surrounded by microfibrillar components. The exact relationship between these components is unknown, although during development the microfibrils appear before the amorphous material.

Hierarchical structure and nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils from the atomistic scale up.

Nano letters (Print), 2011
Collagen constitutes one-third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity, and strength to organisms and is the prime construction material in biology.

The substructure of α-keratin microfibrils

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1970
The effect of underfocusing on the fine detail observed in the cross section of α -keratin microfibrils is discussed. It is shown that the apparent subdivision of the microfibrils into protofibrillar elements is coincidental with an underfocused granular phase image of similar dimensions and cannot, therefore, be accepted as a genuine structural ...

Mechanical performance and cellulose microfibrils in wood with high S2 microfibril angles

Journal of Materials Science, 2010
Corewood and compression wood, both with high S2 microfibril angles, are the worst parts of the tree most in need of improvement in wood quality. This study focuses on the characteristics of cellulosic reinforcement in wood with high S2 microfibril angles lying between 35° and 60°, as well as the probable influence of these characteristics on wood ...

Probing crystal structure and mesoscale assembly of cellulose microfibrils in plant cell walls, tunicate tests, and bacterial films using vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy.

Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2014
This study reports that the noncentrosymmetry and phase synchronization requirements of the sum frequency generation (SFG) process can be used to distinguish the three-dimensional organization of crystalline cellulose distributed in amorphous matrices ...

Purification of Fibrillin-Containing Microfibrils and Collagen VI Microfibrils by Density Gradient Centrifugation

Analytical Biochemistry, 1998
A method is described for the purification of collagen VI microfibrils and fibrillin-containing microfibrils, respectively. High M(r) microfibril-rich preparations isolated from nuchal ligament by bacterial collagenase digestion and size fractionation were purified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation.

Extraction of bamboo microfibrils and development of biocomposites based on polyhydroxybutyrate and bamboo microfibrils

Journal of Composite Materials, 2010
This investigation deals with the detailed procedure for the extraction of microfibrils from raw bamboo. The microfibrils obtained from raw bamboo were characterized using scanning electron microscope and the average diameter of the fibrils was found to be 10 μm.

Comparison of Rhapidosomes and Asbestos Microfibrils

Science, 1978
Rhapidosomes (cylindrical nucleoprotein rods of bacterial origin) show great structural similarity to the microfibrils of chrysotile asbestos when negatively stained and observed with the electron microscope. If the negative stain is omitted, the asbestos retains its structural detail whereas the rhapidosomes appear to be unstructured bodies.
