Opis

This book summarizes recent progress in cellulose chemistry. The recent developments in cellulose chemistry include unconventional methods for the synthesis of derivatives, introduction of novel solvents, e.g. The chemistry and, more importantly, the applications of cellulose are only concisely mentioned.

Recenzje

"The aim of the book to describe the most important features of the chemistry and chemical technology of cellulose and its derivatives was fully accomplished. Therefore, the content is of interest to all those concerned with the production and use of cellulosic products whether in academic or industrial circles, new in the domain or experienced cellulose scientists." (Bogdan Marian Tofanica, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, Vol. 53 (5-6), 2019)
