Description | Cellulose acetate (CA) is the acetylation of cotton fiber or wood fiber, also known as acetyl cellulose. It is the earliest commercialized production of cellulose organic ester among cellulose derivatives. CA has the advantages of wide range of uses, high added value of products, convenient production, short process, excellent consumption performance, pollution-free production process and renewable raw materials, etc., and has received extensive attention from all over the world. At present, CA is mainly used in textile manufacturing and membrane materials such as seawater purification membranes, pervaporation membranes, and dialysis membranes. |
