Cellulose ethers and their derivatives are the solution for many application needs in a broad variety of applications from plaster to pills, from coatings to capsules and from batter to batteries.Performance needs are as different as the applications are and have to be designed based on individual needs, to fit best. Cellulose chemistry offers uncountable options altering the chemical structure and the polymer properties resulting.An influence on the final product properties occurs actually on different structural levels ranging from chemical composition via particle morphology to product blends. These levels are reviewed. Examples of tailoring product properties are given to prove the concept �Performance by Design�.
