Notes:
Comparisons were made of changes in molecular weight and in tensile strength of regenerated cellulose after exposure to 40% KOH at 90°C., for varying lengths of time. In the absence of air, both parameters decreased in a fairly consistent manner. In the presence of air, an initial steeper drop was followed by an irregular up-and-down pattern. The theory is advanced that the increase in tensile strength was caused by increased crystallinity.
