Cellulose
It is the most abundant naturally occurring organic substance
Representing about1.5×1012 tons annual biomass production
First described in 1838 by French chemist “Anselm Payen”
It occurs in almost pure form in cotton fiber at around 98%.
As a raw material, cellulose has been used about150 years
First thermoplastic polymer material called “Celluloid”
Manufactured by Hyatt Manufacturing Company in 1870

Tollens in 1895 and Nastukoff in 1900 recognized that cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose by x-ray pattern analysis.
In 1920 it is discovered that celluloses in delignified wood pulp, flax, ramie, and cotton.
The Chinese discovered the usefulness of cellulose and developed a
process in A.D. 100 that gave them that most wonderful of inventions... paper.
Create other products such as rayon and the transparent film called cellophane.
In Vascular plants cellulose is synthesized at the plasma membrane by rosette terminal complexes (RTCs) (Hexameric protein structures, approximately 25 nm in diameter). 24 Dec 2014

PyranosePyranose is any cyclic isomer that has a five carbons and one oxygen in a ring of six atoms
Furanose Any cyclic isomer that has a four carbons and one oxygen in a ring of five atoms
CellobioseCellobiose consists of two glucose molecules linked by a β(1→4) bond
Some definitions

Structure of celluloseIt is a Homopolymer of Glucose
It is a Carbohydrate composed of Carbon(49.39%), Oxygen (44.4%) and Hydrogen (6.17%).
The molecular formula is (C6H10O5)n
Unbranched chained polymer of glucose
Cellulose Microfibrils in plants appear to be 4–10 nm wide under the electron microscope (Emons 1988, McCann et al 1990)

Glucose
It is a simple Aldohexosic Monosaccharide. It is a hexose ( 6 carbon) also aldose( --COH radical present in the terminal Carbon)
The molecular formula of Glucose is C6H12O6
A sugar with a pyranosic structure
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a formyl functional (-CHO) group.
An Ketone is an organic compound containing a carbonyl functional (-CO-) group.
AldehydeKetone

Crystalline and Amorphous region
Crystalline region: Intra and Inter molecular bonding is so strong Do not absorb much moisture
Amorphous region: Bonding is week Absorb too much moisture

Physical Properties
Cellulose is non toxic, biodegradable solid homo-biopolymer.At pure state white in color.Molecular mass is around 1.44 × 106 to 1.8 × 106 gDensity of 1.52–1.54 g/cm3 (at 20°C)High tensile and compressive strengthCross bonding gives the maximum strength

Cellulose is very much stable in thermal conduction Cellulose shows thermal softening at 231-253°C Not a thermoplastic polymer

Electrical Properties
Cellulose shows very low conductivity and high resistivity of electricity
Pure cellulose shows maximum resistivity and water content decreases resistivity
Relative humidity also affect the electrical resistivity

Chemical Properties
DP is 8000-10000 Isolable is water but uptake water around 8-14% at 60% relative
humidity and 20ᵒC Soluble in organic chemicals Give anhydrous reaction with concentrated acids Reacts with Hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, acids, esters, amides,
halogenated hydrocarbons, hydrazine etc. Reacts with strong base. Reacting order is,
For cations the order of reactivity
For anions the order is,

Reaction with water
Cellulose soak water very slowly. It uptake 8-14% moisture Water is attached with strong hydrogen
bonding. Relative humidity and temperature is
important. Crystalline cellulose uptake less water than
amorphous

Reaction with strong base
Reacts with strong base quickly.
According to the reactivity with base it can be separated into three types:(i) α cellulose, (ii) β cellulose, (iiii)γ celluloseIn 17.5% NaOH solution Insoluble: α cellulose Soluble but precipitated in neutral solution: β cellulose Very much soluble: γ cellulose

Use of cellulose
Cotton: composed of 87 -90% cellulose with the cotton fibers containing polymer chains
Pharmaceuticals: Medicines are derived from plants cellulose, cellulose acetate , etc.
Cellophane: Can be obtained when a viscous cellulose reacts with acid (sulfuric acid)
Bomb: Cellulose trinitrate is used as a propellant for bullets due the fact that nitrate –OH group can be explosive.
Energy Drinks: Glucuronolacton, vitamins, and carbohydrates
Industrial Sugar, biofuel production, using oil production, ester production
