Abstract

Nitrocellulose is one of the most energetic polymers that have extensive importance in many vital applications. Nitrocellulose has proven itself, since it was accidentally discovered, and until now as a pioneering material of great properties that can be used in different fields without faltering. In this review article, we will represent an in-depth outlook on Nitrocellulose: its chemical structure & properties, advanced ways of detection and its Nitrogen content, synthesis of some of its forms, and the different forms of applications. We have figured out that nitrocellulose is one of the materials that have characteristics ready for continuous enhancement where encouraging results are found.


Keywords
