Cellulose films obtained from TISC Langmuir–Blodgett films provide a model system for adsorption studies of dyes and polyelectrolytes. The conversion of multilayers of trimethylsilylcellulose (TMSC), a “hairy‐rod” molecule with short hydrophobic TMS side groups, into ultrathin cellulose films, the derivatization of these films with succinic anhydride, and the use of regenerated and modified cellulose films for adsorption studies are reported with the aim of finding ways of changing the chemical properties of cellulose films.
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.
