Abstract

Modern concepts about the structural organization of cellulose and the character of formation of its inter- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are analyzed. A scheme for the structure of the cellulose microfibril that supposes the presence of slit-shaped micropores in its structure is proposed. The proton magnetic relaxation study of sorption processes reveals that, at a moisture content of 7–10%, the filling of cellulose micropores occurs with a concomitant increase in their lateral sizes and decreases in the degrees of crystallinity of samples.
