Abstract
FROM the purely chemical properties of cellulose, recent experiments have enabled us to gain further information as to the nature and length of the cellulose chain. It will be remembered that earlier work from this Laboratory showed that cellulose contains repeated units of β-cellobiose, and the present views on the intimate structure of this polysaccharide are based on these researches published in 1925–27.
