Unlocking the Role of van der Waals Interactions in Governing the Thermoplasticity of Cellulose Esters
Fatty acid cellulose esters (FACEs) are cellulose thermoplastics with wide application potential. However, the molecular factors governing the thermoplasticity of highly substituted FACEs remain poorly understood. Here, we synthesized a series of FACEs with varied side-chain lengths to clarify the role of intermolecu...
