Hydrogen cellulosics

As Figure 25 8 shows the glucose units of cellulose are turned with respect to each other The overall shape of the chain however is close to linear Consequently neigh boring chains can pack together m bundles where networks of hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure and impart strength to cellulose fibers... 

The hydrogen peroxide then diffuses through the innermost membrane of cellulose acetate, where it is oxidized at a Pt anode. 

Carbon disulfide [75-15-0] is a clear colorless liquid that boils at 46°C, and should ideally be free of hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide. The reaction with alkaU cellulose is carried out either in a few large cylindrical vessels known as wet chums, or in many smaller hexagonal vessels known as dry chums. In the fully continuous viscose process, a Continuous Belt Xanthator, first developed by Du Pont, is used (15). 

Tables 1 and 2 Hst the important physical properties of formamide. Form amide is more highly hydrogen bonded than water at temperatures below 80°C but the degree of molecular association decreases rapidly with increa sing temperature. Because of its high dielectric constant, formamide is an excellent ionizing solvent for many inorganic salts and also for peptides, proteias (eg, keratin), polysaccharides (eg, cellulose [9004-34-6] starch [9005-25-8]) and resias.

Membrane modules have found extensive commercial appHcation in areas where medium purity hydrogen is required, as in ammonia purge streams (191). The first polymer membrane system was developed by Du Pont in the early 1970s. The membranes are typically made of aromatic polyaramide, polyimide, polysulfone, and cellulose acetate supported as spiral-wound hoUow-ftber modules (see Hollow-FIBERMEMBRANEs). 

Paper consists of sheet materials that are comprised of bonded small discrete fibers. The fibers usually are ceUulosic in nature and are held together by hydrogen bonds (see Cellulose). The fibers are formed into a sheet on a fine screen from a dilute water suspension. The word paper is derived from papyms, a sheet made in ancient times by pressing together very thin strips of an Egyptian reed Cjperuspapyrus) (1). 

Other Cellulosics. Rayon is bleached similarly to cotton but under milder conditions since the fibers are more easily damaged and since there is less colored material to bleach. Cellulose acetate and triacetate are not usually bleached. They can be bleached like rayon, except a slightly lower pH is used to prevent hydrolysis. The above fibers are most commonly bleached with hydrogen peroxide. Linen, dax, and jute requite more bleaching and mil der conditions than cotton, so multiple steps are usually used. Commonly an acidic or neutral hypochlorite solution is followed by alkaline hypochlorite, peroxide, chlorite, or permanganate, or a chlorite step is done between two peroxide steps. A one-step process with sodium chlorite and hydrogen peroxide is also used. 

Similar models for the crystal stmcture of Fortisan Cellulose II came from two separate studies despite quite different measured values of the diffraction intensities (66,70). Both studies concluded that the two chains in the unit cell were packed antiparallel. Hydrogen bonding between chains at the corners and the centers of the unit cells, not found in Cellulose I, was proposed to account for the increased stabiUty of Cellulose II. The same model, with... 

Cellulose III. Cellulose III results from treatment of cellulose with Hquid ammonia (ammonia mercerization) or amines. Cellulose III can be made from either Cellulose I or II. When treated with water. Cellulose III can revert to its parent stmcture. Some cellulose III preparations are much more stable than other preparations. The intensities on diffraction patterns from Cellulose III differ slightly depending on whether the Cellulose III was made from Cellulose I or II, and thus these allomorphs are called IIIj or IHjj- Workers studying III concluded, based partiy on the results of I and II, that the packings of IIIj and IIIjj are parallel and antiparallel, respectively (67). IIIjj also is thought to have hydrogen bonds between the corner and center chains. 

Preproduction dye developer negatives used a combination of cellulose acetate and cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate as barrier layers. The images produced from these negatives were outstanding in color isolation, color saturation, and overall color balance. However, solvent coating was requited with this composition, and it was not used in production.
