• Isolation, preparation, and characterization of nanofibers from oil palm empty-fruit-bunch (OPEFB) (2010, background): “Cellulose is a high-molecular-weight linear homopolymer, comprising b-D-glucopyranosyl repeating units joined by (1 ? 4) glycosidic linkages ( De Souza Lima and Borsali 2004 ).”
• Effect of pre-acid-hydrolysis treatment on morphology and properties of cellulose nanowhiskers from coconut husk (2011, background): “Those linkages cause 180 flips of the glucose monomers that are packed parallel to each other in structures (microfibrils) ( De Souza Lima and Borsali 2004; Habibi et al. 2010; Rowell et al. 2005).”
• Facile preparation of mouldable polyvinyl alcohol-borax hydrogels reinforced by well-dispersed cellulose nanoparticles: physical, viscoelastic and mechanical properties (2013, background): “…mutually repulsive negative charge of sulfate ester groups on their surfaces, the rigid rod-like cellulose I nanoparticles have a strong tendency to align along a vector director in water, creating a birefringent pattern that can be observed under polarized light microscopy (Lima and Borsali 2004).”
• Chemistry and Applications of Nanocrystalline Cellulose and its Derivatives: a Nanotechnology Perspective (2011, background): “The materials based on cellulose and its derivatives have been used for more than 150 years in a wide variety of applications, such as food, paper production, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals (Coffey et al., 1995; de Souza Lima and Borsali, 2004).”
