Abstract

Various starch materials and cotton cellulose were deuterated in liquid deuterium oxide. Relative accessibility (amorphous content) was determined by infrared spectroscopy. The values obtained agreed on the whole with those determined by X-ray diffraction methods. In all cases, there was a residuum of inaccessible (usually crystalline) material which could not be deuterated.
