CP/MAS C-13 NMR spectroscopy was used in combination with spectral fitting to examine the surface structure of hydrated cellulose I fibrils from Halocynthia and Gluconoacetobacter xylinus. To increase the spectral intensities and minimize signal overlap, G. xylinus celluloses site-specifically enriched in C-13 either on C4 or on both C1 and C6 were examined. The experimental data showed multiple C4 and C6 signals for the water accessible fibril surfaces in the highly crystalline celluloses. These signal multiplicities were attributed to structural features in the surface layers induced by the fibril interior, and could not be extracted by spectral fitting in celluloses with a lower degree of crystallinity such as cellulose from cotton.
