Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the crystalline structure of cellulose using static and dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy.
TL;DR: In this work, dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy has been further explored as a method sensitive to cellulose structure variations and had the potential to indicate possible correlation field splitting peaks of cellulose Ibeta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between wood polymers studied by dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy was applied to study the mechanical interactions among cellulose, xylan and glucomannan in spruce wood fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Oriented Structure of Lignin and its Viscoelastic Properties Studied by Static and Dynamic FT-IR Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of lignin for stress transfer in the fiber wall, its orientation and mechanical interaction with other cell-wall components were investigated, and the results indicated that there is a preferred orientation of the phenyl-propane units of Lignin along the fiber axis in spruce tracheids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fiber orientation in dynamic FTIR study on native cellulose
TL;DR: It is shown that the polarization direction determines the dynamic IR response to a higher extent than the fiber direction in the sample sheets, allowing conclusions to be drawn on the structural orientation of submolecular groups in the cellulose molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Load distribution in native cellulose.
TL;DR: To investigate the deformation behavior of cellulose and its relation to molecular straining, sheets with fibers oriented preferably in one direction were studied by dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy.
