Claims15
A composition comprising a cellulose product in an amount of from 45% by weight to 100% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition on a dry basis, wherein the cellulose product comprises a type I and a type-II cellulose, and wherein the cellulose product comprises cellulose having a weight-average molecular weight of from 3,000 g/mol to 25,000 g/mol as determined on a sample of the cellulose product that has been prepared for gel-permeation chromatography analysis according to a first condition.
