Cellulose acetate was used to make flexible films for photographic use, computer tapes and so on and also to make fibers. Methylcellulose and other cellulose ether derivatives are used in a wide range of everyday products from adhesives to baked goods to pharmaceuticals .
This 5 ⁄ 16 inch (7.9 mm) thick cement board is designed as an underlayment for tile floors. These are 3-by-5-foot (91 by 152 cm) sheets. These are 3-by-5-foot (91 by 152 cm) sheets. A cement board is a combination of cement and reinforcing fibers formed into sheets, of varying thickness that are typically used as a tile backing board. [ 1 ]
cellulose is a homopolymer of glucose. It is very poorly soluble in most solvents, so glucose is extracted through chemical and biological breakdown achieved by cellulolytic enzymes. [12] This extraction is made easier by the fact that the strands of cellulose are integrated into, but not covalently attached to the lignin-hemicellulose component.
Cement bonded wood fiber materials can be classified as low density, medium density and high density. The density of the material will determine to a large extent, the various properties of the end product. Other factors determining the overall performance of a cement bonded wood fiber material are: Wood particle type; Wood particle gradation
All the widely publicized incidents of serious mold contamination of insulation have involved fiber insulation materials other than cellulose.". [ 37 ] Moisture is always a concern for homes, and the wet-spray application of cellulose may not be a good choice in particularly wet climates unless the insulation can be verified to be dry before ...
Wood fibres can be used as a substrate in hydroponics. Wood wool (i.e. wood slivers) have been a substrate of choice since the earliest days of the hydroponics research. [4] However, more recent research suggests that wood fibre can have detrimental effects on "plant growth regulators". [5] [non-primary source needed]
Nanocellulose is instead derived from wood pulp that has been processed to create extremely small, nanoscale fibers. These fibers can be used to create a hydrogel, which is a type of material that is made up of a network of cross-linked polymer chains and is able to hold large amounts of water.

At least half of the concrete in a typical building component protects the steel reinforcement from corrosion. Concrete using only fiber as reinforcement can result in saving of concrete, thereby greenhouse effect associated with it. [26] FRC can be molded into many shapes, giving designers and engineers greater flexibility.
