Abstract

1. A precise method is defined for determination of the molecular-weight distribution of the original cellulose acetate by fractional precipitation of 1% methylene chloride solutions of the TAC in ethanol. 2. A method is developed for quantitative determination of low-molecular fractions which is based on extraction of the polymer from a mixture of methylene chloride and ethanol at 25°C with addition of ammonium thiocyanate. 3. The dependence of the physical and mechanical properties of triacetate fibres on the average molecular weight of the polymer is demonstrated.
