| Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on earth. In solution, cellulose derivatives can form liquid crystals which take on characteristics of the solid state with unique optical and physico-mechanical properties. The author presents an overview of modern developments in the physical chemistry of solutions of cellulose and its derivatives. Physical Chemistry of Non-aqueous Solutions of Cellulose and Its Derivatives discusses: * how experimental data and computer simulation can give insight into the factors which influence the interaction of solvent and solute * how phase transitions in solution can be predicted from the solvency of non aqueous solvents for oellulose and its derivatives * the methods for obtaining thermodynamic parameters for solvation in non-aqueous solvents * the rheological properties of lyotropic liquid crystals. The Wiley Series in Solution Chemistry fills the increasing need to present authoritative comprehensive and fully up-to-date accounts of the many aspects of solution chemistry. Internationally recognized experts from research or teaching institutions in various countries are invited to contribute to the series.
