• Comparison of the characteristics of cellulose microfibril aggregates isolated from fiber and parenchyma cells of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) (2010, background): “The obtained nanofibers were approximately 15 nm in width and at least a few micrometers in length, and corresponded to cellulose microfibril aggregates in wood cell walls (Fahle ´n and Salme ´n 2005; Donaldson 2007 ).”
• Comparison of the characteristics of cellulose microfibril aggregates of wood, rice straw and potato tuber (2009, background): “The isolated nanofibers had a uniform width of approximately 15 nm and a length of more than several micrometers and corresponds to the cellulose microfibril aggregates that exist in wood cell walls ( Donaldson 2007 ).”
• Size, shape, and arrangement of native cellulose fibrils in maize cell walls (2014, background): “Some microfibrils appear to be ribbon-like (Donaldson 2007) indicating these may contain more than one CEF (Fig.”
• Key role of the hemicellulose content and the cell morphology on the nanofibrillation effectiveness of cellulose pulps (2013, background): “In fact, the term NFC should not be confused with cellulose microfibrils, which constitute the smallest discernible building blocks of natural cellulose with lateral dimensions in the range of 3–5 nm, depending of the cellulose origin (Donaldson 2007) and length, generally, in the micrometer scale.”
• Structure of cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose from various wood species, cotton and flax studied by X-ray scattering (2009, background): “The diameter of these crystallites is of the same order as the diameter of the cellulose microfibrils ( Donaldson 2007; Andersson 2007).”
• Microfibril Angle: Measurement, Variation and Relationships – A Review (2008, background): “The general consensus for tension wood is that MFA is very small in the G-layer of gelatinous fibres (Wardrop & Dadswell 1948, 1955; Kantola & Kähkönen 1963; Baba et al. 1996; Yoshida et al. 2000; Washusen et al. 2001; Hori et al. 2003; Hillis et al. 2004; Washusen et al. 2005a; Daniel et al. 2006; ”
• The Biology of Reaction Wood (2014, background): “3) shows macrofibrils of diameters ranging from 10 to 60 nm in the G-layer, even allowing for the effect of coating by chromium or other metals used during sample preparation (Daniel et al. 2006; Donaldson 2007; Lehringer et al. 2009).”
• Cellulose nanofiber-based hydrogels with high mechanical strength (2012, background): “The resultant fibers have a uniform width of approximately 15 nm and a length of more than several micrometers and correspond to cellulose microfibril aggregates in the cell walls (Donaldson 2007).”
• The hierarchical structure and mechanics of plant materials (2012, background): “Hemicellulose is a short chain, amorphous poly-saccharide with 500-3000 monomer units with acidic groups (Bodig and Jayne, 1982; Niklas, 1992).”
