Notes:
The coagulating and regenerating conditions that are necessary for the formation of a highly durable cellulosic film are described. It is shown that low orientation, low lateral order, low gel swelling, and cellulose with a high DP are primary requisites for best film properties. Experiments demonstrated that the application of a unidirectional stress produced an unbalance of physical properties in the film, and this, in general, had an adverse effect on the durability level of a packaging film. Studies of the rates of loss of water and sodium hydroxide from the viscose during coagulation revealed that thermal and osmotic effects were not as important in determining the rate of coagulation as was the buffering and neutralizing capacity of the bath. A bath with high acid content caused the cellulose to be regenerated prior to collapse of the sheet.
