The object of the present invention is to provide a cellulose acylate-containing film capable of improving durability of polarizer, and of suppressing bleeding of an additive for improving the durability of the polarizer, a method of manufacturing the film, a polarizing plate, a liquid crystal display device and a composition. The present invention provides a film which includes a compound represented by Formula 1 defined by the specification, a compound represented by Formula 2 defined by the specification, and a cellulose acylate; wherein the content of each of the compounds represented by Formula 1 and Formula 2 in a zone ranging from one surface of the film to a depth of 10%, is higher than the content in the residual zone.

A mixture of a cellulose derivative and a liquid diluent is prepared which comprises at least 5 weight percent of the cellulose derivative, based on the total weight of the cellulose derivative and the liquid diluent. The mixing operating causes air to be entrapped in the mixture. The time for at least partially removing entrapped air is reduced by providing a cellulose derivative having a specific surface area of less than 0.20 m.sup.2/g measured by BET method for preparing the mixture.

Regioselectively substituted cellulose esters having a plurality of pivaloyl substituents and a plurality of aryl-acyl substituents are disclosed along with methods for making the same. Such cellulose esters may be suitable for use in films, such as +A optical films, and/or +C optical films. Optical films prepared employing such cellulose esters have a variety of commercial applications, such as, for example, as compensation films in liquid crystal displays and/or waveplates in creating circular polarized light used in 3-D technology.

Provided herein is a cellulose nanofiber that can be easily combined with a compound having a reactive double-bond group and that can provide a molded article which contains only a small amount of an uncured material that acts as a plasticizer in a molded product, using a simple producing method that does not require any process involving solvent displacement or solvent removal. A high-strength resin composition or molded body prepared by using the cellulose nanofiber is also provided. In refining cellulose in the presence of a compound having a reactive double bond and a hydroxyl value of 200 KOHmg/g or more, the cellulose has a moisture content of 4 to 25 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the amount of the cellulose converted on the assumption that the percentage moisture of the cellulose is 0%.
