Fig. 4

Proposed average dimensions for microfibrils of bamboo cellulose, from WAXS (vertical dimension) and SANS (horizontal spacing). Each of the microfibrils is shown with the (200) lattice plane, corresponding to the orientation of the sheets of hydrogen-bonded chains, horizontal. The elliptical shape of the microfibrils as shown is merely diagrammatic, avoiding assumptions about which lattice planes are exposed at the surface
