TY - JOUR AB - CELLULOSE is a polar material held together by the strong secondary forces emanating from its OH groups. It can be swollen, dissolved or cemented together (according to circumstances) by a polar liquid like water or alcohol, while it is unaffected by nonā€polar liquids such as benzene or toluene. It is rigid and relatively inextensible and strong. VL - 12 IS - 7 SN - 0002-2667 DO - 10.1108/eb030664 UR - https://doi.org/10.1108/eb030664 AU - de Bruyne N.A.
