<p>One sample of 1D bundle of cellulose microfibrils in the form of lignified flax fibre (0.10526 mm x 10 mm), and one 2D networks of cellulose microfibrils in the form of tunicate cellulose (0.07 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm), bacterial cellulose (0.135 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm) and microfibrillated cellulose (0.08 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm) were put on a glass slide parallel to the principal spectrometer axis. Raman spectra were measured all round in-plane under both half (in 5° steps) polarisation from 0° to 360° in extended mode between 100 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 1150 cm<sup>-1</sup> in 3 accumulations at 10s exposure and 100% laser power. The cursor was placed at the peak of the 1095 cm<sup>-1</sup> band, and intensity read.</p>

Loose hierarchical flax fibres/polypropylene composites were manufactured in a simple way based on a paper-making process in order to include nanocellulose and allow the hornification of the nanofibres in a controlled manner. The effect of flax fibre content on the flax/polypropylene composites and the influence of nanocellulose on the properties of these composites are discussed. By increasing the flax content a slight decrease of the tensile strength and an increase of the Young´s modulus were observed. On the other hand, no significant effect was noticed when increasing the bacterial cellulose content in the composites.

Commercial plastics synthesized from fossil oil can significantly affect the environment due to its non-biodegradable property. It is an attempt to minimize the use of the plastics substituted with biodegradable plastics such as biocomposite. Biocomposite matrix can be synthesized from cellulose. A potential cellulose source can be obtained from bacterial cellulose. The bacterial cellulose observed in this study was extracted from guava. Bamboo microfibrillated cellulose was used as reinforcement agent. The objectives of this paper are to obtain optimum condition of bacterial cellulose from guava reinforced with microfibrillated cellulose of bamboo and to identify the characteristics of the biocomposite product such as its mechanical (tensile strength), morphological (SEM), thermal (DSC and TGA) and structural properties (FTIR and TGA). The results show that optimal conditions of the modified biocomposite was achieved at 5%-w/v of bamboo microfibrillated cellulose with tensile strength of 59.81±4.81 MPa. Furthermore, the biocomposite had good thermal stability. It was confirmed by TGA analysis with glass transition temperature of 150°C higher than that of guava bacterial cellulose without the reinforcement of bamboo microfibrillated cellulose, i.e at 110°C.

Evidence from phase and polarizing microscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy indicates that the cellulose microfibrils in the spherulites of bacterial cellulose are oriented tangentially, not radially. Also, the orientation may be limited to only a fraction of the thickness of the pellicle. It is suggested that the tangential deposition may be caused by a gradient of concentration of a weakly soluble inhibitor of cellulose formation about a center.
