I want to use cellulose in a synthesis but looking through manufacturer's websites to buy it , all i can find is Cellulose microcrystalline . as far as i know microcrystalline cellulose is partially depolymerized ,so i am not sure if i can use it in my synthesis. does anyone know if it makes a difference in the synthesis?
Thanks in advance
Hi. As I know the important parameter is molecular weight of Cellulose. You can ask them to tell you about MW, or you can analyze it by yourself. What do you want to synthesize?
What do you need the cellulose for? Cellulose is insoluble in most solvents, and even microcristalline the DP is still quite high. There is also no such thing as amorphous cellulose. An option for longer cellulose microfibils is to prepare it yourself as parenchymal cell cellulose (PCC).
Hello from Germany.
How much do you need?
We offer Cellulose fibers of different fiber lengths.
Just have a look into our website:
www.mikro-technik.com
Small samples are free of charge.
Best regards
Dear Fa Najafi ,
Sigma-Aldrich sells a variety of cellulose, and they provide the spec sheets.

The University I go to as also bought cellulose from JRS, where they offer different fiber length. For specifications, you can contact them. Their website is:

Hope this can help,
Céleste
