Properties of chemically and mechanically isolated fibres of spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.). Part 3: Mechanical characterisation

Keywords: cell wall cross-sections, chemically isolated fibres, mechanically isolated fibres, modulus of elasticity, ultimate stress

Microtensile investigations were carried out on chemically and mechanically isolated fibres that had similar dimensions before isolation. The properties calculated for the fibres were nearly identical for the two isolation methods. However, cell wall cross-sections of chemically isolated fibres shrank much more transversely than those of the mechanically isolated fibres.
