Abstract
Treatment of high-molecular-weight cellulose acetate (HCA) with acetone-water mixture (55:45 wt. %) increased the mol. wt. of the polymer and gave solutions a more homogeneous structure. It was shown that films made of HCA had a more ordered structure after this treatment. It is recommended that batches of HCA with a high enough mol. wt. be treated with acetone-water mixture to obtain cellulose hydrate fibre with stable properties.
