The journal Cellulose Chemistry and Technology was founded in 1966 by a group of international specialists, as an appreciation of Romanian scientists' contribution in the field of cellulose chemistry. It is now published in one volume a year, consisting of 6 issues with a total average number of 720 pages. The journal has the purpose of promoting the newest achievements in chemistry, the latest developments in scientific thinking and the most imaginative ideas in the sphere of natural macromolecular compounds, wood components and annual plants. To attain these aims, the journal likes to combine the efforts made in different countries for solving the major chemical problems regarding the structure and the reactions of these compounds. The journal publishes original papers, critical reviews, short lectures as well as synthesis studies dealing with creative research on fundamental and applied chemistry, physics, biology and technology of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other extractive substances of wood, annual plants and other plant fibre raw materials.
