The results from two different chemical approaches to study the disposition of D‐glucopyranosyl segments of the cellulose chains on the surfaces of microstructural units accessible to chemical reagents in cotton cellulose are compared, correlated, and rationalized. These studies provide the basis for a suggested disposition of D‐glucopyranosyl units in the crystalline surfaces of elementary fibrils, for a proposed arrangement of hydrogen bonds on these surfaces, and for estimates of the size of the elementary fibrils.
