Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cellulose acetate excellent in transparency, and a molded article of the cellulose acetate.In the cellulose acetate, an acetylation degree is 52% or more and 59% or less, and a content of low-molecular-weight components having a molecular weight of not more than ¼ of a peak top molecular weight in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography of cellulose acetate is 12% or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Cellulose acetate having an acetylation degree ranging from 52% to 59%, and containing 12% or less of low-molecular-weight components, wherein the low-molecular-weight components are components having a molecular weight of not more than ¼ of a peak top molecular weight in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography of cellulose acetate, Mw/Mn is from 2.15 to 2.97, where Mw is a weight average molecular weight of the cellulose acetate and Mn is a number average molecular weight of the cellulose acetate, and the weight average molecular weight of the cellulose acetate is from 50,000 to 500,000. 2. The cellulose acetate according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose acetate has a viscosity at 6% ranging from 30 mPa·s to 200 mPa·s. 3. The cellulose acetate according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein a ratio of a molar content of glucose to a sum of molar contents of glucose, xylose and mannose is 97% or more in sugar composition analysis. 4. The cellulose acetate according to claim 3 , wherein the ratio of the molar content of glucose to the sum of molar contents of glucose, xylose and mannose is 97.5% or more in the sugar composition analysis. 5. A molded article comprising the cellulose acetate according to claim 1 or 2 .
