Cellulose derivatives – a general approach to their production Solvents for cellulose A new area of cellulose chemistry started almost 50 years ago when non-aqueous solvent systems for cellulose, including aprotic ones, were discovered.10 Solvents for cellulose are central in the preparation of cellulose derivatives, but they are also needed in laboratory work. Those conventional
