Thermal Properties and Thermal Degradation of Cellulose Tri-Stearate (CTs)

Cellulose tri-stearate (CTs) was synthesized employing trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), stearic acid (SA), with microcrystal cellulose (MCC) and characterized with FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The degree of substitution of CTs was determined by the traditional saponification method and 1H-NMR. The thermal prope...
