“…The method used for this purpose was x-ray analysis, which has already given much valuable information about the crystallized portion of cellulosic samples. It may be justifiable to regard the study of this crystallized portion as more or less completed, and a recent very careful investigation by S. T. Gross and G. L. Clark (29) seems to have settled the last doubtful questions in this field. As a result of a long series of scientific work started in 1918 (1,3,10,29,39,40,42,46,62,76,77,81,83,84,85,89,93,94,100) we can put forward certain lattices for the micellae of the native and mercerized cellulose which imply definite coordinates for all atoms in the elementary cell and describe the relative positions of the glucose residues and the main-valence chains in a more or less quantitative manner. But this picture excludes entirely the non-cry stallized portion of the samples, and another series of publications has pointed out with increasing emphasis that this part which has escaped to date the direct attack of the x-ray method may also be of considerable interest, especially for the technical properties of the fibers (2,8,11,15,21,28,32,36,37,38,43,51,53,54,55,60,62,66,…”
