Cellulose: Structure, Modification, and HydrolysisRaymond Allen Young, Roger M. Rowell A state-of-the-art review of cellulose chemistry and technology, covering structure and biosynthesis, cellulose modification, liquid crystals of cellulose derivatives and cellulose degradation. The book describes structures of cellulose fibers and new methods for fiber production, and includes methods of x-ray diffraction and model selection for characterization of cellulose and cellulose-solvent complexes, wettability, hornification and dry forming of cellulose fibers. The book also provides fundamentals of the chemistry and physics of cellulose. |
