Research Focus: Bevan's research centered on cellulose, the main structural component of plant cell walls. He and his collaborators made significant contributions to understanding its chemistry and properties. They aimed to establish a systematic approach to classifying different types of cellulose.
Authorship: Bevan co-authored several publications on cellulose, most notably with Clayton Beadle. Their book, "Cellulose: an outline of the chemistry of the structural elements of plants," published in 1916, was a key reference in the field. You can find mentions of this book in library catalogs [various libraries].
Legacy: Bevan's work helped advance the understanding of cellulose, which has numerous applications in textiles, paper, and other industries.
