A comparative molecular dynamics study of crystalline, paracrystalline and amorphous states of cellulose (2014, background): “…native cellulose crystals, either Ia or Ib, is well studied and has been characterized through NMR, X-ray scattering experiments, electron diffraction and neutron diffraction methods (Hardy and Sarko 1996; Chen et al. 2012; Nishiyama 2009; Nishiyama et al. 2002a, b, 2003; Sugiyama et al. 1991a, b).”
Comparison of cellulose nanocrystals obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and ammonium persulfate, to be used as coating on flexible food-packaging materials (2016, background): “…et al. 2011; Nishiyama 2009), but the measure of chemical reactivity showed the rupture of hydrogen bonding betweenO3H and the ring oxygenO5 only in the region of defects that are periodically present along the microfibril and due to the biological synthesis of the cellulose (Nishiyama 2009).”
Size, shape, and arrangement of native cellulose fibrils in maize cell walls (2014, background): “(the contiguous regions of highly-ordered or ‘‘crystalline’’ cellulose found in the fibrils) are likely smaller than the apparent size of the microfibril (Nishiyama 2009; Fernandes et al. 2011).”
