| Crystal structure of cellulose Iƒ¿ and IƒÀ |

First X-ray Laue diagram was taken by Nishikawa and Ono in 1913. Since then the concepts that all the cellulose samples should be characterized by a uniform cellulose I model. This concept has been revised when high resolution solid state NMR became available and a range of cellulose samples were characterized. Finally, electron micro- diffraction study confirmed that cellulose I is a mixture of cellulose Iƒ¿ and IƒÀ, and concluded that the former adopts tricilinic one chain unit cell while the latter adopts
monoclinic two chain unit cell, respectively.
