	Nitrocellulose
		Nitrocellulose is a highly flamable compound formed by exposing cellulose to nitric acid.
		The first cine films were made using nitrocellulose; decades later, it was discovered that nitrocellulose gradually decomposed, releasing nitric acid, which further catalysed the decomposition.
		Nitrocellulose can be made by putting cotton wool (almost pure cellulose) into a mixture of 2 parts sulfuric acid and 1 part nitric acid.

	Explosive composition comprising HMX, RDX, or PETN and a high viscosity nitrocellulose binder plasticized with TMETN - ...
		Upon contact with ordinary low viscosity nitrocellulose, TMETN softens the surfaces of the nitrocellulose fibers but is incapable of achieving penetration and complete colloidation of such nitrocellulose and hence is considered unsuitable for the preparation of single and multiple base propellants.
		As increasing proportions of high viscosity nitrocellulose were substituted with low viscosity nitrocellulose, the strength of the processed flexible composition decreased until at complete substitution of high viscosity nitrocellose in the binder, the product became too weak to serve any useful role as a sheet explosive.
		In the determination of the nitrocellulose viscosity aforementioned, the 5/16-inch diameter steel ball shall weigh about 2.025-2.045 grams, the viscosimeter shall consist of a vertically mounted glass tube 14 inches long with an internal diameter of 1 inch immersed to the level of its liquid contents in a constant temperature bath maintained at 25.degree.

	Troubleshooting Protein Binding in Nitrocellulose Membranes (Part 1)—Principles (IVDT archive, Mar 99)
		In untreated nitrocellulose membranes, the hydrophilicity of the material is a direct function of its pore structure.
		Traditional theories concerning the aging of nitrocellulose membranes have largely assumed that this retained moisture is volatile; thus as the membrane ages it loses moisture and becomes hydrophobic, statically charged, and brittle.
		Some research on nitrocellulose aging seems to dispute the conclusion that the moisture retained by nitrocellulose membranes is volatile, and recent studies have shown that effects similar to hydrophobicity can be achieved during storage even at very high humidity levels.

	Wolff Cellulosics - Nitrocellulose in Solution
		The viscosity of a nitrocellulose solution depends not only on the molecular weight of the nitrocellulose grade, but also on the solvent or solvent mixture used.
		Within a given class of solvent, the higher the relative molar mass of the solvent, the higher the viscosity of the nitrocellulose solution (the dissolving capability of the solvent decreases equally in relation to the increasing molar mass).
		Increasing the content of non-solvent (toluene) also increases the viscosity of the nitrocellulose solution, and at a content of 10 to 30 % by weight of toluene in the solution a kind of plateau is reached where the viscosity remains virtually constant.
