Nitrocellulose

So how can we know how much nitrocellulose is its equivalent? ❋ Unknown (2009)

Be this as it may, nitrocellulose is a duly respected member of the family of macromolecules, and I take pride in laying claim to scientific kinship to Alfred Nobel through an interest in this substance, however tenuous the connection may be. ❋ Unknown (1975)

They're not made from plain plastic, but nitrocellulose, which is delightfully, highly flammable. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These nitrates are variously known as nitrocellulose, pyroxylin, and gun cotton. ❋ William McPherson (N/A)

A third important class of beamsplitters is fabricated from a high tensile strength elastic membrane (such as nitrocellulose) stretched like a canvas over a black anodized flat metal frame.

I studied both black and white and color photography in my homemade darkroom, and studied various earlier photographic techniques (i.e. daguerreotypes, tintypes, etc.) and discovered 1st hand the dangerousness of certain chemicals or materials (e.g. nitrocellulose-based film), even with proper ventilation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Nitrogen is used to make a variety of explosives including ammonium nitrate, nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, and trinitrotoluene (TNT). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Hiskey's formulation uses nitrocellulose as fuel and nitrates as oxidizer, thus avoiding perchlorates altogether. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The gunpowder/nitrocellulose/cordite or other explosives used to fire bullets or shells contain their own chemical oxidisers in the mixture so they don't need air. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Brass, copper, lead, with added nitrocellulose to provide more bang for your buck. ❋ Jhetley (2009)

Who doesn't like to burn the occasional nitrocellulose membrane? ❋ Microbiologist Xx (2008)

He was a 65-year old clergyman, not a professional chemist, but two years of tinkering in his attic laboratory finally produced a flexible film from nitrocellulose , a trademarked plastic introduced in 1869. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The plastics that di-n-butyl phthalate is used most in are called polyvinyl chloride plastics and nitrocellulose lacquers. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I was at my local hardware store to pick up some disposable, quick-use masks for spraying some nitrocellulose lacquer. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The Russians have developed variations of the FAE such as a slurry-explosive warhead (a mix of a combustible liquid with solid high explosives) and a reactive-surround warhead (nitrocellulose and combustible aluminum in a thin walled container). ❋ Unknown (2007)

In 1875 Nobel created blasting gelatin, a colloidal suspension of nitrocellulose in glycerin, and in 1887 ballistite, a nearly smokeless powder especially suitable for propelling military projectiles. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The company switched to the production of the more profitable explosive nitrocellulose when WWI broke out in 1914. ❋ Ed Gorman (2007)
