polyol and thus susceptible to acetylation, which is achieved using acetic anhydride. Acetylation disrupts hydrogen bonding, which otherwise dominates the properties of cellulose. Consequently, the cellulose esters are soluble in organic solvents and can be cast into fibers and films.

Acetylation of wood

Acetylation of wood is a chemical modification process that enhances the properties of wood by making it highly resistant to fungi and insects, as well as very durable against moisture and
