Cellulose microfibril angle in the cell wall of wood fibres

TL;DR: The variation of MFA within the tree and the biological reason for the large differences found between juvenile (or core) wood and mature (or outer) wood are considered.

Microfibril Angle: Measurement, Variation and Relationships – A Review

Lloyd Donaldson
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: MFA, in combination with basic density, shows a strong relationship to longitudinal modulus of elasticity, and to longitudinal shrinkage, which are the main reasons for interest in this cell wall property in conifers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards the design of high-performance plant fibre composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the main types of plant cell walls used as polymer reinforcements are discussed and the relationship between their structures and properties, in constant link with potential associated composite, is specifically discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory of X-ray measurement of microfibril angle in wood. Part 1. The condition for reflection X-ray diffraction by materials with fibre type symmetry

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the orientation of a cellulose microfibril and the X-ray beam diffracted by any of its crystallographic planes has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanostructural assembly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the middle layer of secondary wall of ginkgo tracheid

TL;DR: In this paper, the assembly mode of cell wall polymers in the softwood tracheid was tentatively proposed as a basic assembly mode for cellulose, noncellulosic polysaccharides and lignin, and their assembly mode in the cell wall.
