A summary of some solid state NMR (CP/MAS 13C-NMR) techniques useful for studying isolated cellulose will be discussed and, structural models used for interpreting results will be illustrated by examples. The strong connection between NMR spectra and the supramolecular structure of cellulose will be exemplified and compared with results obtained from similar samples by x-ray […]
