Abstract
I begin with what Zakhar Aleksandrovich Rogovin said back in 1967: Natural polymers have the widest raw materials base. In contrast to the raw material used for manufacturing different types of synthetic polymers (natural gas, crude oil, coal) which are gradually being depleted despite the large reserves and cannot be restored in future decades and even centuries, the raw material resources for isolation of natural polymers (celluloses in particular) will not diminish when utilized rationally but can be renewed in any practically required quantities in very short times” [1]. Who could say it better!
