Summary
-
1.
The oxidative degradation of cellulose ethers and esters proceeds through the stage of the formation and breakdown of peroxy compounds.
-
2.
The formation of hydroperoxides as primary and secondary reaction products and also of other compounds that readily generate free radicals, clearly marked periods of induction characteristic for autocatalytic processes, the acceleration and retardation of the process by additions of promotors and inhibitors of oxidation: all these indicate that the oxidation of cellulose ethers and esters by molecular oxygen proceeds by a chain radical mechanism.
