Abstract
The properties of refined hydrotropic cellulose and cellulose nitrates synthesized using the commercial sulphuric-nitric mixture were studied. In spite of the high content of non-cellulose components, the obtained cellulose nitrate samples are close in their characteristics to highly viscous colloxilin. It was established by means of IR spectroscopy that hydrotropic cellulose is identical to classical cellulose in characteristic frequencies, while the products of its synthesis are cellulose nitrates. The morphology of hydrotropic cellulose and its nitrates was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy.
