Cellulose Derivatives

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

Cellulose constitutes the most abundant renewable polymer resource available world-wide. It has been estimated that by photosynthesis, 1011 − 1012 t are synthesized annually in a rather pure form, for example in the seed hairs of the cotton plant, but mostly cellulose is combined with lignin and other polysaccharides (hemicelluloses) in the cell wall of woody plants.
