Individualization of cellulose nanofibers from wood using high-intensity ultrasonication combined with chemical pretreatments
TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical-purified cellulose fibers were then mechanically separated into nanofibers using high-intensity ultrasonication, and the diameter distributions of the resulting nanofiber were dependent on the output power of the ultrasonic treatment.

Mechanical behavior of sheets prepared from sugar beet cellulose microfibrils
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical behavior of films cast from sugar beet cellulose microfibrils was investigated through tensile tests, and it was found that pectins act as a binder between the cellulose interconnections, which tends to increase the Young's modulus in dry atmosphere and to decrease it in moist conditions.

Determination of aldoses and uronic acid content of vegetable fiber
TL;DR: The recommended method offers a consolidation of the recent modifications of the alditol acetate procedure for the estimation of neutral sugars and is applicable only to highly purified fiber preparations which are free of coprecipitated intracellular compounds.
