Abstract

In this work thermoplastic materials from cellulose fatty acid esters were manufactured, their properties described and application and processing perspectives evaluated. Rheological properties of some cellulose esters in melt were studied under conditions similar to those usually used in industrial polymer processing. Thermoplastic properties of cellulose esters were compared with properties of low density polyethylene under the same conditions. It was discovered that long chain fatty acid cellulose esters could be processed in the same way as commodity polymers, but these materials need further improvement for being industrially applied as thermoplastic polymers.
