Table 4 Band positions of crystalline and amorphous cellulose and the calculated parameters for the wood samples. I200 is the maximum intensity of the crystalline cellulose, Iam is the minimum intensity of the crystalline cellulose, CrI is the crystalline index and L represents the crystallite size
