Cellulose acetate was first prepared by Paul Schützenberger in 1865. It took another 29 years before Charles Cross and Edward Bevan patented a process for its manufacture. At about the same time, ...

As previously discussed, nanotechnology is now used to produce materials with extremely high surface-to-mass and surface-to-volume ratios. Electrospinning is a well-known technique for the preparation ...

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) is an amorphous, transparent thermoplastic quite like cellulose acetate but more expensive and tougher with improved weathering resistance and lower moisture ...

The authors provide a systematic evaluation of the effects of solvent systems, PEG molecular weight, and concentration of CA to PEG on the thermomechanical properties and permeabilities of CA-free ...

Researchers at VTT, Finland, have been able to transmit light through an optical fiber based on a wood derivative. The fiber, which is made of cellulose, is best suited for sensors that could benefit ...
