Description Many highly acclaimed and authoritative books on polymer science tend to focus on synthetic polymers. Cellulose and Cellulose Derivatives
is the first authoritative book on the subject. It examines recent developments, with particular reference to cellulose (in aqueous alkali)
and cellulose acetate. Packed with examples, the author takes an in-depth look at the topic, using the most reliable experimental data
available. A comprehensive approach to the fundamental principles of cellulose and its derivatives in solution makes Cellulose and
Cellulose Derivatives ideal reading for novices as well as experienced cellulose scientists.
Audience
Experienced cellulose scientists and students new to the field
