Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called microfibrils, which are organized into macrofibrils that mediate structural stability in the plant cell wall.

From a strong fundamental understanding of cellulose and wood structure, to the long experience gained through development of ionic liquids for cellulose processing, we have the tools for advanced ...

The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. But cellulose, the most ...

"This study also provides entirely new insights into how simple, basic physical mechanisms such as diffusion and self-organization may lead to the formation of complex cellulose networks in cells." ...
