Hydrogen bonding abundance

We have also analysed the liquid in terms of 3-D clusters, and we have found that the most abundant structures, for all the considered temperatures, are those in which one water molecule is hydrogen bonded to... 

Polypropylene ether) polyol is the single most important product from propylene oxide and enjoys a predominant position in polyurethane applications. The ether linkages are very abundant in these polyols and they contribute to the physical and chemical properties in many applications such as surfactant action and hydrogen-bond formation. 

It is worthwhile to emphasize one feature of hydrophilic molecules their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Carbohydrates, with their richness of hydroxyl groups, are abundantly able to do this. Lipids generally lack this capability and are, in consequence, quite hydrophobic. 

Cellulose is reputedly the most abundant organic material on Earth, being the main constituent in plant cell walls. It is composed of glucopyranose units linked pi 4 in a linear chain. Alternate residues are rotated in the structure, allowing hydrogen bonding between adjacent molecules, and construction of the strong fibres characteristic of cellulose, as for example in cotton. 

Cellulose, a polysaccharide consisting of linear 1,4-/ -D-anhydroglucopyra-nose chains laterally associated by hydrogen bonds, is the most abundant and commercially important plant cell wall polymer (1). Consequently, cellulose is also one of the most thoroughly investigated plant cell wall polymers. However, it is enigmatic in the sense that significant elements of cellulose physical structure and the mechanism of cellulose biosynthesis still are not well understood. Since these subjects have been reviewed recently (2-10), this review will update topics covered previously and provide a new analysis of selected topics of contemporary interest.
