Cellulose

(For other uses, see Cellophane (disambiguation).) Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose.

Hypromellose (INN), short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used as eye drops, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products.

Cellulase is any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze cellulolysis, the decomposition of cellulose and of some related polysaccharides.

Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.

Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton, and flash string) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent.

Viscose is both a semi-synthetic fiber, formerly called viscose rayon, or rayon and a solution of cellulose xanthate.

Merriam-Webster defines Cuprammonium rayon as "a rayon made from cellulose dissolved in cuprammonium solution".

Celluloids are a class of compounds created from nitrocellulose and camphor, with added dyes and other agents.

Pulp is a lignocellulosic fibrous material prepared by chemically or mechanically separating cellulose fibres from wood, fiber crops or waste paper.

Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone.

Methyl cellulose (or methylcellulose) is a chemical compound derived from cellulose.

Bamboo textiles are cloth, yarn, and clothing made out of bamboo fibres.

Ethyl cellulose is a derivative of cellulose in which some of the hydroxyl groups on the repeating glucose units are converted into ethyl ether groups.

Cellulose triacetate, also known simply as triacetate, CTA and TAC, is a chemical compound manufactured from cellulose and a source of acetate esters, typically acetic anhydride.

Bacterial cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n) produced by certain types of bacteria.
