Researches on Cellulose, 1895-1900
"Researches on Cellulose, 1895-1900" by C. F. Cross and E. J. Bevan is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a supplement to earlier studies on cellulose, presenting a collection of research findings and investigations into the chemistry of cellulose and its various derivatives. The authors aim to compile and classify the abundant new knowledge acquired in this field, underscoring the complex structure and characteristics of cellulose that are crucial in both plant biology and industrial applications. The opening of the book introduces the context of previous work done on cellulose and explains the necessity of updating the findings due to a significant influx of new research contributions over the past few years. The authors discuss the various definitions of cellulose, including empirical and chemical properties, highlighting the challenges and misconceptions that surround the term. They emphasize the importance of a systematic classification approach, as well as the ongoing empirical nature of many methods used in cellulose chemistry, ultimately inviting readers to explore the intricacies and potential of cellulose-related research for industrial applications.
A Text-book of Paper-making
"A Text-book of Paper-making" by C. F. Cross and E. J. Bevan is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the principles and practices involved in the art and science of paper-making, emphasizing the importance of understanding the chemical properties of cellulose and its various sources. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive guide for students and professionals interested in the technical processes behind producing paper. The opening of the text introduces the authors' intent and methodological foundation. It outlines their objective to illustrate the scientific principles underlying paper production and to detail the raw materials, primarily vegetable fibers, used in the manufacturing process. Through an exploration of cellulose—its chemical properties, extraction methods, and significance in the paper-making industry—the book sets the stage for a detailed analysis of various fibers. It also acknowledges the contributions of various individuals and publications to enrich the content provided, indicating a collaborative effort to advance understanding in this industrial field.
