Perhaps if you were to make your query more specific(and preferably in normal text) someone might be able to help. Do you mean in the cellulose ?

studiot Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well the monomer has three OH groups (two direct and one CH2OH) and there are several thousand monomers in a particular cellulose polymer. So how long is your piece of string? Do you want to dissolve some in carbon disulphide and spectroscopically check out the amount in the cellulose xanthate for instance?
