Abstract

Modern views of the structural organization of cellulose microfibrils were analyzed. A mechanism whereby an additional capillary-pore system forms in cellulose during its moistening was proposed. With the moisture reaching 8–10% in cellulose, its micropores were found to be filled and to increase in cross size and specific surface, while the crystallinity decreased. The parameters of the supramolecular structure and capillary-pore system of cotton cellulose were determined in the context of the microfibril structure model.
