A NOVEL ORIENTATION TECHNIQUE FOR SEMIRIGID POLYMERS .1. PREPARATION OF CROSS-LINKED CELLULOSE-ACETATE AND HYDROXYPROPYLCELLULOSE FILMS HAVING PERMANENT ANISOTROPY IN THE SWOLLEN STATE
Creators
Description
It has been predicted that unusually good mechanical properties can be obtained by drying swollen networks of semi-rigid chains while they are in the deformed state, as described in several theoretical investigations [Macromolecules, 23: 5335, 5341 (1990), 24: 901 (1991)]. The present investigation involves the preparation of networks of this type from cellulose acetate (CA) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), in order to test these concepts. The cross-linking required to maintain anisotropy during the drying process was obtained using formaldehyde, while the polymers were in either the anisotropic or isotropic state. Control of the cross-linking was obtained by studying the effects of the concentration of formaldehyde, temperature, and reaction time.
