Environmental concern has resulted in a renewed interest in bio-based materials. Among
them, plant fibers are perceived as an environmentally friendly substitute to glass fibers for …

Cellulose as the most abundant regrowing organic material exhibits outstanding properties
and useful applications, but also a tremendous challenge with regard to an economical and …

This article attempts to bring together basic and complex information which has been
gathered on cellulose structure, principally that of native cellulose, over the last few …

Sulfuric acid hydrolysis of native cellulose fibers produces stable suspensions of cellulose
nanocrystals. Above a critical concentration, the suspensions spontaneously form an …

Cotton linters were partially hydrolyzed in dilute acid and the morphology of remaining
macrofibrils was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) under various …

In this study, investigations were carried out on flax at different levels of observation. Stems,
bundles and elementary fibres were studied in order to correctly understand the fibre …

The wood cell wall is built with elementary cellulose fibrils (ECF) having a uniform thickness
of 25±2 A. This was shown by investigating the same samples independently with three …

The la-» 1/3 conversion of cellulose was investigated by annealing Valonia and bacterial
cellulose in a series of mediums ranging from helium gas to organic solvents of various …

This review summarizes the proposed mechanisms for irreversible coalescence of cellulose
microfibrils within fibers during various common industrial treatments for chemical pulp fibers …

An integrated approach, based on quantitative transmission mode powder X-ray diffraction
(PXRD) combined with multivariate statistical analysis, has been applied to cellulose …
