  Abstract: In this research, the structural characteristics, specific surface area, sorption of water vapor, and wetting enthalpy of various polysaccharides (cellulose, hemicelluloses, starch, pectin, chitin, and chitosan) have been studied. It was confirmed that crystallites are inaccessible for water, and therefore water molecules can interact only with polar groups in noncrystalline (amorphous) domains of biopolymers. The... More

  Abstract: In this article, structural characteristics of amorphous mono-, di-, andtri-substituted esters of cellulose have been studied. These esters weresynthesized under homogenous conditions using anhydrides of variousaliphatic acids. The specific gravity of the highly substituted samples wasmeasured by a pycnometric method in the aqueous medium. To calculatethe molar, Van der Waals, and free volumes, as well... More
