“…In this respect, the preparation of sufficiently diluted solutions is recommended, meaning the extrapolation of the experimental results to c = 0 and θ = 0 • . The analysis of classical light scattering experiments applied to polymer solutions involves rewriting the Zimm equation in the following form: K × c/R θ = 1/M w + 2A 2 + 16π 2 R g 2 sin 2 (θ/2)/3λ 0 2 M w (12) with K as in Equation (2). Data for all θ angles are extrapolated to θ = 0 • for each c concentration value, and data for each θ scattering angle are extrapolated to concentration c = 0 (Figure 1).…”

“…The Polymers 2024, 16, 1170 2 of 39 broadening of the biomedical applications allowed the design of antimicrobial hydrogels, hydrogels for tissue engineering, and hydrogels for food additives or food packaging based on cellulose [8][9][10][11]. The production of pharmaceutical textiles based on cellulose is supposed to functionalize the polysaccharides with plant-derived materials, drugs, and metal nanoparticles [12]. Additionally, cellulose-based materials as superabsorbent hydrogels contribute to pollution control and water treatment [13][14][15], or are used as supercapacitors, batteries, and chemical/biological/physical sensors in the energy and sensing industries [16,17].…”

This review emphasizes the practical importance of laser light scattering methods for characterizing cellulose and its derivatives. The physicochemical parameters like molecular weights, the radius of gyration, hydrodynamic radius, and conformation will be considered when the reproducibility of polymer behavior in solution is necessary for the subsequent optimization of the property profile of a designed product. Since there are various sources of cellulose, and the methods of cellulose extraction and chemical modification have variable yields, materials with variable molecular weights, and size polydispersity will often result. Later, the molecular masses will influence other physicochemical properties of cellulosic materials, both in solution and solid state. Consequently, the most rigorous determination of these quantities is imperative. In this regard, the following are presented and discussed in this review: the theoretical foundations of the light scattering phenomenon, the evolution of the specific instrumentation and detectors, the development of the detector-coupling techniques which include a light scattering detector, and finally, the importance of the specific parameters of polymers in solution, resulting from the data analysis of light scattering signals. All these aspects are summarized according to the chemical classification of the materials: celluloses, esters of cellulose, co-esters of cellulose, alkyl esters of cellulose, ethers of cellulose, and other heterogeneous cellulose derivatives with applications in life sciences.
