  • Cellulose Functional Groups: Understanding Hydroxyl Bonding
    The functional groups found in cellulose are hydroxyl (-OH) groups. These hydroxyl groups are attached to the carbon atoms of the glucose monomers that make up the cellulose polymer chain. The hydroxyl groups on cellulose participate in hydrogen bonding with adjacent cellulose chains, which contributes to the strength and rigidity of the cellulose material.
