Fibrillar size of native cellulose was studied in detail by electron microscopic and x‐ray techniques. Samples included natural fibers of cotton and ramie as well as algal and bacterial celluloses. Results indicated smaller sizes for cotton and ramie than was previously reported in the literature and a possible difference in fibrillar sizes among celluloses.
