Abstract: By partial hydrophobization of O-(2-hydroxyethyl)cellulose with chlorides of higher fatty acids (C₁₂ and C₁₈) the new O-dodecanoyl-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)cellulose and O-octadecanoyl-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)cellulose have been synthesized and characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. The prepared derivatives reduce the surface tension of water and have a good emulsification efficiency.
