cellulose nitrate
cellulose nitrate a compound made by treating cellulose with nitric and sulphuric acids, used in plastics, lacquers, and explosives: a nitrogen-containing ester of cellulose cellulose nitrate[′sel·yə‚lōs ′nī‚trāt] (organic chemistry) Any of several esters of nitric acid, produced by treating cotton or some other form of cellulose with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids; used as explosive and propellant. Also known as nitrocellulose; nitrocotton. cellulose nitrateA material formed by the reaction of cellulose fibers with nitric and sulfuric acids. Those with lower nitrogen content are used as binders in lacquers and are very inflammable. A high nitrogen content results in nitrocellulose, an explosive.cellulose nitrate
