Concentration effects on the isolation and dynamic rheological behavior of cellulose nanofibers via ultrasonic processing (2013, positive): “These results demonstrate that the typical crystalline I form of the native cellulose remained unchanged (Nishiyama et al. 2003).”
Drying cellulose nanofibrils: in search of a suitable method (2012, background): “Derived from the sheet structure of cellulose, the proposed weak hydrogen bonds (Nishiyama et al. 2003) or hydrophobic bonds (Jarvis 2003) between different sheets of cellulose fibrils are more easily broken than are lateral hydrogen bonds (Klemm et al. 1998).”
Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood (2011, methodology): “Data on highly crystalline algal or tunicate celluloses have been obtained by all these methods (6, 9, 10, 59).”
Glucose, not cellobiose, is the repeating unit of cellulose and why that is important (2017, background): “Only in the case of cellulose Ia, for which the space group is P1 (Nishiyama et al. 2003), are cellobiose residues repeated by simple translation to make the crystal.”
Structure, organization, and functions of cellulose synthase complexes in higher plants (2007, background): “The O3-H—O5 intra-chain hydrogen bonding which exists in both polymorphs (I and II) is responsible for the rigid and linear shape of each cellulose chain (Figure 1) (Langan et al., 2001; Nishiyama et al., 2002, 2003).”
Excellent chemical and material cellulose from tunicates: diversity in cellulose production yield and chemical and morphological structures from different tunicate species (2014, background): “Typically, it is composed of nearly pure cellulose Ib allomorph (Nishiyama et al. 1999, 2003; Belton et al. 1989).”
Comparative properties of cellulose nano-crystals from native and mercerized cotton fibers (2012, background): “…LA 70124, USA G. Han Q. Wang Material Science and Engineering College, Northeast Forestry University, 26 Hexing Rd, Harbin 150040, China cell containing one chain (Nishiyama et al. 2003), whereas Ib is represented by a monoclinic unit cell containing two parallel chains (Nishiyama et al. 2008).”
On the use of nanocellulose as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites (2014, background): “Cellulose Ia possesses a one chain triclinic unit cell [38] and cellulose Ib is composed of monoclinic unit cell containing two parallel chains [39].”
