SynopsisThe chemical microstructural analysis (CMA) developed by Rowland and his school was applied to Vuloniu and bacterial cellulose and the results compared to those obtained with cellulose from cotton linters. It was found that the surface reactivity of Vulonia was very small, roughly one half of that found for bacterial and cotton cellulose. Vuloniu and bacterial cellulose crystals were found to be of high surface perfection as their surface O(
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
