Abstract

This chapter is a general introduction to the present monograph and first describes the significance of the studies on “Blends and Graft Copolymers of Cellulosics” in the research field of compositional materials based on cellulose and related polysaccharides. Secondly, some technical key-terms and methods used for characterizing cellulosic blends and graft copolymers are explained. Finally, the outline of this book is provided by summarizing the main subjects of the constituting chapters with a perspective to tie together the subjects.
