Formation and thermal transformations of free radicals in gamma radiation of cellulose

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    On gamma irradiation of cellulose radicals are formed with localized unpaired electrons in positions 1 and 4 of the pyranose ring, the formation of which is accompanied by rupture of the glycoside bond.

  2. 2.

    Thermal transformations of these radicals cause their degradation and take place with formation of allyl type radicals.
