Cellulose is an organic compound, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of linked D- glucose units. In this paper, we study how the templates of cellulose & its derivatives were prepared. The characterization of cellulose and its derivatives was done through FTIR, SEM, NMR and XRD machines. Interaction between urea and cellulose in NaOH/ urea medium was also investigated and evidence was provided to support it. The objective of this paper was to determine the effectiveness of cellulose to be used as a template for bio-glass.
