How to make cellulose acetate without using acetic anhydride?

30 March 2019 1 3K Report

Acetic anhydride is not available currently. The cellulose is in the glacial state and I want to produce hydrophobic cellulose acetate.

Tamer YA Fahmy

The below mentioned researcher has many articles on cellulose reactions, including cellulose acetate and acetylation of cellulose. Look specially at the older articles. Best wishes.
