Hydrogen bond distributions of (a) Hemicellulose (b) LCC (c) Lignin. Hemicellulose with larger number of hydroxyl groups forms denser hydrogen bond network than lignin. LCC consists of hemicellulose and lignin molecular structure and has an intermediate hydrogen bond network between hemicellulos and lignin. These hydrogen bonds, which act like a spring between atoms, constrain their movement and dictate the elastic behavior of these materials.
