Values of crystallinity index (CrI), hemicellulose percentage (%HC), lateral fibril dimensions (LFD) and lateral fibril aggregate dimensions (LFAD) and accessible/total fibril surface ratio (AS/(AS + IAS)), calculated from the C4-region deconvolution of the solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra from the starting bleached birchwood Kraft fibers (KF), PaLPMO9E-treated bleached birchwood Kraft fibers (KF-LPMO), Ultra Turrax dispersed PaLPMO9E-treated fibers (NFC0) and PaLPMO9E-treated fibers submitted to mechanical shearing (NFC1–3)
