The Future Application

Cellulose Acetate is abundant and renewable material which is an ideal filter material. Thus, the tendency of application of cellulose acetate is absorbent. Now we would show two examples of future applications(unused widely).

The first is a novel NH₂-functionalized cellulose acetate/silicon composite nanofibrous membrane with adsorption properties in wastewater treatment. To obtain the composite membrane, the combining sol-gel and electrospinning methods should be used^[16]

The figure.1.a shows the SEM image of the NH₂-functionalized cellulose acetate/silicon composite nanofibrous membrane. And the figure.1.b shows the SEM image of the composite membrane after water treatment.

The second one is cellulose bead. The cellulose bead with spherical shaped is obtained from cellulose acetate by dispersion and chemical reaction as the figure.2.

The figure.3. shows the micro-structure of cellulose bead. The cellulose bead are used as adsorbent for controlled releasing of pharmaceuticals and as medium for separation^[17]
