“…Many scientists have already proposed compatibilizers replacing MAPO. The results in literature [9,10] suggest that derivatives of natural products might be promising for WPLC. So, we focused on cellulose, which is a major component of wood, synthesized cellulose esters of several carboxylic acids [11], such as acetate (C2C of DS 2.8), propionate (C3C), butyrate (C4C), valerate (C5C), capurorate (C6C), and laurate (C12C), and examined their abilities for compatibilizer of WPLC.…”
