cellulose (C6H10O5)n
Chemistry綿 is specified as cellulose (C6H10O5)n. Density band ~1.54 g/cm³ fibre.
What holds 綿 together is not the nickname. Formula cellulose (C6H10O5)n, density ~1.54 g/cm³ fibre.
Meters are atlas-relative. Grades are the SKUs buyers write.
段階
Microstructure
OrderProcessing sets grain, crystallinity or fibre orientation — the reason two lots of 綿 can test differently.
Interfaces
SurfacesCoatings, oxide films, sizings or paper faces often decide weather and fire behaviour more than the bulk brochure.
Defects
FlawsInclusions, voids, knots, pinholes or residual stress start the failures that mill certificates do not list.
Grades
Variants綿 is a family. Grade names below are the ones buyers actually write on RFQs.
Ageing
TimeMoisture, UV, creep, hydrogen or carbonation shift properties in service. Design to the aged state.

Oxides, chars, sizings or paints are the layer the world actually meets.
Change the grade, the coating or the moisture and you have a different material with the same English name.
