Abstract
Current interest in cellulose chemistry is focused on two areas; a) development of cellulose solvents to provide direct methods for solution spinning and b) development of techniques to control distribution of substituents along the cellulose backbone. Homogeneous substitution,i.e., random distribution of substituents among all the anhydroglucose units in the chain,can be accomplished by initial dissolution of the cellulose substrate followed by reaction in a homogenious media.1 However,solutions of native cellulose are extremely viscous, so it is unlikely that substrate concentration levels high enough to allow commercially feasible production of derivatives could be employed.
