It can protect against fire and has different types for various uses. It can save costs but finding experienced installers can be difficult and it may attract termites. Cellulose insulation is […]
Cellulose acetate is a renewable and biodegradable substance derived from wood pulp that can be used in various manufacturing processes, including synthetic fibers for clothing, magnetic computer tape, absorbent surgical dressings, adhesives, and plastic items. The acetylation process was discovered in 1865 and patented in 1894. Cellulose acetate fiber has benefits such as softness, breathability, […]
Cellulose acetate membranes are used in cold sterilization and ultrafiltration procedures due to their ability to allow water passage while preventing salt permeation. They are composed of cellulose and acetyl groups and have an asymmetrical structure. They are useful for filtering organic compounds and holding proteins for recovery, but are limited in their ability to […]
