triacetaat
Triacetaat, in English known as cellulose triacetate (CTA), is the triester of cellulose in which the hydroxyl groups of the glucose units are fully acetylated. The molecule is derived from cellulose, a natural polymer, and features three acetyl groups per anhydroglucose unit.
Production and structure: CTA is prepared by acetylating cellulose with acetic anhydride in acetic acid, often
Properties and applications: CTA fibers are known for high dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and a
Current status: Production has declined in many sectors due to the rise of polyester and other synthetics,
