The most relevant property of stereoregular polymers is their ability to crystallize. This fact became evident through the work of Natta and his school, as the result of the simultaneous development of new synthetic methods and of extensive stractural investigations. Previously, the presence of crystalline order had been ascertained only in a few natural polymers (cellulose, natural rubber, bal-ata, etc.) and in synthetic polymers devoid of stereogenic centers (polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyamids, polyesters, etc.). After the pioneering work of Meyer and Mark (70), important theoretical and experimental contributions to the study of crystalline polymers were made by Bunn (159-161), who predicted the most probable chain conformation of linear polymers and determined the crystalline structure of several macromolecular compounds.

The greater success with the Dorr Oliver system is probably due to the cellulosic nature of these membranes, as the largomycin F-II supernatant did contain polypropylene-derived antifoaming agents which are known to suppress flux rates across polysulfone membranes. The flux rates for all sheet systems were superior to those observed with the hollow fiber system.

Therefore, Figure 6.9b tells us that there is a significant difference in the cellulosic nature of the two samples, with the older plant having a higher relative cellulose content. 

Unlike most human-made fibers where the polymers must first be synthesized from the monomers, rayon is made from cellulose, nature s most abundant polymer. In growing... 

Chitin is a naturally abundant mucopolysaccharide and is the second most abundant natural biopolymer after cellulose. Nature produces approximately 10 tons of chitin annually worldwide as a by-product [12], and industrial use has been estimated at 10,000 tons annually. In nature, chitin is present in life forms and more particularly in insects and crustaceans where it represents the major component of their exoskeleton. It is a highly insoluble material resembling cellulose in its solubility and low chemical reactivity (Figure 16.1). Although chitin itself is insoluble in water, on deacetylation, it yields CS, which is soluble under acidic conditions. When the degree of acetylation falls below the value of 60 mol%, chitin becomes CS. 

Natural resin paints natural resins (e.g., shellac) or chemical modified natural resins (e.g., colophonium derivates), additions (e.g., methyl cellulose, natural latex, casein), inorganic, organic pigments (mainly natural origin), mineral fillers, additives (organic solvents alcohols, terpenes, oil of turpentine, limonenes), essential oils (eucalyptus oil, oil of rosemary, oil of bergamot) various applications... 

Macromolecular materials are frequently encountered in natural substances such as cellulose, natural rubber, and proteins. Cellulose is a polymer of glucose containing several thousand repeated glucose units in its macromolecule. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene. The natural and plant proteins are also macromolecular ma-... 

The use of cellulosic fibers in polymer composites has increased in the last decade. The reinforcing ability of natural fibers is governed by the nature of cellulose and its crystallinity. Natural fibers are generally lignocellulosic in nature [1], The main constituents of cellulosic (natural fibers) fibers are shown in Figure 12.1. 

Biopolymer bl-o- pa-b-mor (1961) n. (1) A copolymer in which there is irregularity with regard to the placement (relative locations within the polymer chain, in a linear copolymer) of two or three or more chemically different types of units. These units may be mers, in a product of addition polymerization, or residues of the condensing small molecules in a polycondensate. (2) A polymer produced by living organisms, such as cellulose, natural rubber, silk, rosin, and leather. 

SoHELLENBEBO [144] uses a variation of the well-known fluorescence test with morin sensitivity is relatively low (limit of detection 2 jjig). Saeoeb and Tuppy s [95] fluorescence test seems to us to be rather uncertain in the absence of cellulose. Naturally, all procedu which depend on destruction of the organic compounds yielding brown or black products (Bgt. Nos. 46, 241) can be used here, in contrast to PC.
