Abstract

Dynamic Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to examine the interactions among cellulose, xyloglucan, pectin, protein and lignin in the outer fibre wall layers of spruce wood tracheids. Knowledge regarding these interactions is fundamental for understanding the fibre separation in a mechanical pulping process. Sheets made from an enriched primary cell wall material were used for studying the viscoelastic response of the polymers. The results indicated that strong interactions exist among lignin, protein, pectin, xyloglucan and cellulose in the primary cell wall. This signified a closely linked network structure of the components on the fibre surface. This ultrastructural arrangement in the primary cell wall and the relatively high content of lignin, pectin and protein in it, means that the primary cell wall is more submissive to selective chemical attacks, when compared to the secondary cell wall. A low ratio of cellulose Iα to cellulose Iβ in the primary cell wall was also found.
