Abstract
Nitrocellulose, also known as cellulose nitrate or nitrocotton, has an English code name of NC. It has a similar characteristic appearance to cotton. Nitrocellulose is insoluble in water but is dissolved readily in a nonpolar organic solvent. Practically, it is an indispensable and excellent chemical product.
