Abstract
Abstract Cellulose from a cotton residue was isolated, characterized and used for benzylcellulose preparation. A comparative study was done using a commercial cellulose. IR, DSC and TGA were used to characterize celluloses and benzylcelluloses. Experimental data showed that the cotton residue cellulose has a different thermal behavior compared to other celluloses. On the other hand the infrared spectra are identical. Benzylcelluloses with high substitution degree obtained by reaction of celluloses with benzylchloride, showed very similar thermal behavior, but a little higher thermal stability of the commercial cellulose derivatives was always observed.
