The volume emerged from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Cellulose, Paper and Textiles at the 212th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society . . . The three sections of the book cover the chemical modifications of cellulose emphasizing regioselectively substituted derivatives, the recent progress in the analytical characterization of cellulose derivatives and cellulose reactions, and the formation and characterization of supramolecular structures of cellulosics, especially in polymer blends. . . . This ACS symposium volume presents a lot of exciting new results and stimulating ideas in many promising areas of cellulose chemistry and physics. It is carefully edited and amply furnished with impressive figures and tables. The book belongs on the shelf of any group active in cellulose research in academia or industry, and it can be recommended also to scientists interested in current progress on polysaccharides. --Polymer News<br> Comprises papers from a symposium of the August 1996 American Chemical Society meeting in Orlando, Florida, focusing on the state of the art in the ability to modify, regenerate, and reshape cellulose and polysaccharide derivatives with unique chemical, physical, and physiological properties. Highlights include advances in homogenous and heterogeneous phase modification of cellulose to create unusual derivatives, often with regioselective substitution patterns; analysis of selectively and specifically modified derivatives; the self-assembly of cellulosic macromolecules in dilute and concentrated solutions and solids; and supramolecular architectures potentially useful in novel sensors, immunoassays, membranes, and biocompatibilizedsurfaces. --SciTech Book News<br>
