Question

10. Why cellulose is a rigid material?​

Answer 1

Cellulose is an unbranched polymer of beta-glucose. This polymer forms long, straight chains giving it a rigid structure. Because hydrogen bonds are formed between parallel chains, cellulose forms microfibrils. Around 40 cellulose chains combine together, by forming hydrogen bonds, to form a microfibril.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The science term for this awesome sticky force (between chains of cellulose) is called hydrogen bonding. ... But when you add up a whole bunch of them on a long polymer chain, they make the material very stiff and strong! Click on the image below to see one way that cellulose chains can form hydrogen bonds.
