Microfibril structure<br />
• The filaments or fibers of cellulose, (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) n , where n~10 4 , are<br />
organized in bundles (together with lignin surrounding the fibers)<br />
called microfibrils whose size is about 10 nm. Each set of<br />
microfibrils forms a bundle that is itself a structural member of<br />
the wall of a cell (next slide).<br />
• Soft woods have longer cellulose fibers than hardwoods (which<br />
paper manufacturers care about).<br />
