Rudolf Christian Böttger (28 April 1806 – 29 April 1881) was a German inorganic chemist. He conducted most of his research at the University of Frankfurt am Main.He is credited with discovery of nitrocellulose in 1846, independently to Schönbein, and with the synthesis of the first organocopper compound copper(I) acetylide Cu 2 C 2 in 1859.
Nitrocellulose is widely used as support in diagnostic tests where antigen-antibody binding occurs; e.g., pregnancy tests, U-albumin tests, and CRP tests. Glycine and chloride ions make protein transfer more efficient. Radon tests for alpha track etches use nitrocellulose. Adolph Noé developed a method of peeling coal balls using ...
