dPF was found to infiltrate the
microfibril in the less ordered regions between the elementary fibrils.
Therefore, many studies have been carried out to explore the influence of the in situ created
microfibrils on the rheological properties of polymer, such as the shear and elongational viscoelastic behavior [18-20].
The FBN1gene encodes for fibrillin-1, which is a 350 kDa glycoprotein member of the fibrillin family, that are the major components of
microfibrils in the extracellular matrix of elastic and non-elastic tissues.
Figure 3(B-1) shows a region of the
microfibril surface smaller than that in Figure 2 (A-1), which allows identifying where the cement paste was deposited.
In plant cell, the arrangement of the cortical microtubules is closely related to cell growth, by which the deposition direction of cell
microfibrils is controlled [4].
Southerton, "Transcriptome profiling of Pinus radiata juvenile wood with contrasting stiffness identifies putative candidate genes involved in
microfibril orientation and cell wall mechanics, "BMC Genomics, vol.
We hypothesize that the fused pit borders and elongate apertures observed in this study result from a rearrangement of microtubules associated with cellulose
microfibril deposition.

Cellulose molecules may be as many as 2000 glucose molecules in length, and these long molecules are bundled together in packages to form a
microfibril. Groups of
microfibrils are wound together much like a steel cable to form a macrofibril.
