Synopsis

Learn how celluloid evolved from early substitutes to a flexible workhorse of industry. This book traces the raw materials, like cellulose and nitro-cellulose, and the methods that turned them into films, varnishes, and artificial silk. It also surveys the many uses—from photography and motion pictures to decorative and technical applications—while explaining the science behind its properties and handling.

What you’ll get:



  • Foundations of the raw materials, how they’re processed, and why they behave the way they do.

  • A look at the manufacturing steps that create celluloid and related products.

  • Ways celluloid has been used as a substitute for glass, ivory, and other materials.

  • Practical notes on testing, safety, and the handling of early plastics.



Ideal for readers curious about the early plastics era, industrial chemistry, and the practical history of modern materials.
