Crystallisation of polymers is an undesirable property. Crystallisation of celluloid is prevented by adding_________________?

Correct answer: C. Camphor

  • A. Glycerol
  • B. Nitro cellulose
  • C. Camphor
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Celluloid is cellulose nitrate plasticised with camphor, which reduces intermolecular attraction and suppresses crystallisation, making the material flexible. Nitrocellulose is the base polymer, not the crystallisation-preventing additive.
