SOME CONSIDERATION ON THE STAUDINGER'S CONSTANT OF CELLULOSE NITRATE

Abstract

Km value of cellulose nitrates in acetone is measured in relation to their degree of nitration and degree of polymerisation.(1) Km value varies respectively with the degree of nitration and degree of polymerisation.(2) Following relations hold for nitrogen content of about 13.8% N, which is obtained usually with nitration mixture containing HNO3-H3PO4-P2O5.(a) DP below 600_??_η_??_=11×10-4•P, (c:g/l)(b) DP 600_??_3000_??_η_??_=0.1+92×10-4•P, (c:g/l)(3) DP-distribution curves of some linters and wood pulps calculated from Staudinger's equation and above formulas, (a) and (b) were compared. Curves of high DP region are respectively different.
