Interaction of cellulose with other polymers is reviewed from retrospective viewpoints, and future opportunities are discussed from prospective scopes. Previous investigations of the interaction of cellulose with other polymers and/or its existence in novel conformations include a brief overview of cellulose crosslinking, grafting, cellulose/other polymer microcomposites and cellulose and its derivatives in the liquid crystalline state. Interaction of cellulose with newer and more novel macromolecular architectures include its ability to form and interact with polyrotoxanes, polymer combs, starburst dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers and its use as an intelligent material. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
