Grafting of cellulose by ring-opening polymerisation - A review

► This review covers the grafting of cellulose by ring-opening polymerization (ROP). ► Heterogeneous grafting from and to solid celluloses is described. ► Homogenous grafting from soluble cellulose derivatives is also included. ► Solid celluloses are, for example, cotton, microfibrillated cellulose, nanowhiskers. ► Cellulose derivatives are, for example, hydroxyethyl cellulose and cellulose diacetate.
