Conclusions
The modifying power of polyethylene glycols (PEG-35 and PEG-115), an ethoxylated amine, dimethylamine, and sodium carbamate has been investigated under conditions which model the spinning of viscose fibres.
It has been shown that the maximum modifying power is observed at a sulfuric acid content of 40–60 g/liter in the precipitation bath.
On the basis of an analysis of diffusion kinetics, the suggestion has been made that the weak modifying ability at a sulfuric acid concentration below 40 g/liter in the precipitation bath is explained by an alkaline medium; and the weak modifying power at a concentration above 60 g/liter, by a strongly acid medium on the surface of the forming fibre.
