THE SIZE OF THE CELLULOSE MICROFIBRIL [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1963 Recently the lateral width of the cellulose microfibril has been estimated as 30 A rather than about 150 to 200 A, by extrapolation of data from model shadowing experiments. The difference was attributed to a layer of metal deposited during shadowing.

Processing of Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced with Polysaccharide Nanocrystals
Molecules, 2010 Aqueous suspensions of polysaccharide (cellulose, chitin or starch) nanocrystals can be prepared by acid hydrolysis of biomass. The main problem with their practical use is related to the homogeneous dispersion of these nanoparticles within a polymeric ...

Homogenization of a system of elastic and reaction-diffusion equations modelling plant cell wall biomechanics [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we present a derivation and multiscale analysis of a mathematical model for plant cell wall biomechanics that takes into account both the microscopic structure of a cell wall coming from the cellulose microfibrils and the chemical reactions

Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks and van der Waals forces.

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
