Cellulose esters are synthetic polymers prepared from a renewable resource, cellulose, which is a natural polymer and a major component of plant-cell walls. Isolation of cellulose from trees or plants provides a raw material for many major commercial products, including cellulose esters. Cellulose is an unbranched polymer consisting of a chain of repetitive anhydroglucose units linked together through a 1,4-β-glycosidic linkage ... This cellulose chain is commonly known as alpha-cellulose, the percentage of which is often used to describe the purity of a cellulose material. 3, record 1, English, - alpha%2Dcellulose

The alpha-cellulose is that portion of pulp which does not dissolve in 18% aqueous NaOH. The greater the quantity of alpha-cellulose present, the higher the purity of the material. However, alpha-cellulose is not necessarily pure cellulose, since alkali-soluble glycans may still be combined with it. 1, record 2, English, - alpha%2Dcellulose

La cellulose alpha est la fraction de la pâte qui est insoluble dans une solution aqueuse de soude caustique (NaOH) à 18 %. Plus il y a de cellulose alpha, plus la pâte est pure. Cependant, la cellulose alpha n'est pas nécessairement de la cellulose pure puisqu'elle peut être combinée à d'autres polysaccharides solubles en milieu alcalin. 4, record 2, French, - cellulose%20alpha
