We studied the crystalline conversion of cellulose fiber from cellulose I to cellulose II (mercerization) by X-ray diffraction, focusing on the putative chain-polarity conversion from parallel to antiparallel. The structural change of Na-cellulose was examined during stepwise changes in NaOH concentration. Either Na-cellulose I or Na-cellulose II was formed depending on the initial NaOH concentration...
Morphological changes of ramie fibers due to swelling in alkali solution were investigated. The observed twisting and changes in the cross-sectional shape of the fibers could be explained as a geometrical alteration caused by lateral expansion of coiling fibrils, as the unmercerized ramie fiber showed an S-helix structure. The fibril angle of ramie fibers was estimated to be 3°. Although the swollen...
