3. UV Stability
4. Cellulose textile fibers (cotton, flax, etc.)
paper (pulping)
building (wood)
polymers: renewable resource but not benign processing (we only want to mention but not concentrate on)
composites: good app, “green” materials
5. Cellulose
6. Cellulose Derivatives Derivatize or functionalize hydroxyls (OH)
Similar rxns can be done on starch (glucose subunit in both) but these materials were abandoned b/c of inferior properties relative to cellulose derivatives
Three examples: 1) viscose, 2) cellulose acetate (esters), 3) carboxy methyl cellulose (ethers)
All cellulose derivatives are variations on these reactions
