Use 6: the hydroxyl group in cellulose polymer is esterified or etherified,many useful products can be derived.Cellulose esters
in practical use include cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, celluloseacetate butyrate and cellulose xanthate.Cellulose ether:
methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, cyanoethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose
and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.In addition, there are ester ether hybridderivatives.
