Tensile strenght

If regenerated cellulose fibres are formed by the deformation of swollen gels, there is no reason to expect that the molecular fringes between the crystalline regions should have equal length. This may be the reason for the relatively low tensile strenght of these objects (particularly in the wet state) as compared to that of native fibres like ramie and cotton. In the latter, formed by the action of life, a more regular structure may be expected.
