CELLULOSIC SOLUTIONS AND THEIR USES

Solutions are disclosed which comprise (a) cellulose, (b) a tertiary amine N-oxide solvent for the cellulose, (c) a solution processability-enhancing amount of at least one co-solvent, miscible with the tertiary amine N-oxide, which is an amide selected from the group consisting of compounds of the...

Zusammenfassung:Solutions are disclosed which comprise (a) cellulose, (b) a tertiary amine N-oxide solvent for the cellulose, (c) a solution processability-enhancing amount of at least one co-solvent, miscible with the tertiary amine N-oxide, which is an amide selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula R CONHR in which either (i) R represents H or C1-C3 alkyl and R represents H or methyl or (ii) R and R together represent 1,3-propylene, and, if desired, (d) a cellulose solubility-enhancing amount of water. Methods of manufacturing shaped cellulosic articles from such solutions are also disclosed.
