Definition

Organic esters of cellulose represented by cellulose acetate (CA) are versatile cellulosic derivatives. This entry surveys the inherent characteristics of CA and its relatives and the recent progress in their functionalization as promising polymeric materials via nanostructural design or nanoincorporation with other ingredients.

Introduction

Organic esters of cellulose (CEs) represented by cellulose acetate (CA) have been commercially important polymers over nearly a century. Even though cellulose is poorly soluble in common solvents and thermally unmelted, the conversion to its esters affords secondary materials that are processable in various useful forms. There has been a great activity for CEs to develop specific applications such as coating; drug delivery (excipients); plastics including biodegradable ones, laminates, and optical films; and membranes and other separation...
