Fibers made from concentrated viscose solutions

Cellulose xanthate solutions with α‐cellulose content from 9 to 14% were obtained and their properties were examined. It has been found that viscoses containing urea are more stable and possess lower viscosity as compared with conventional viscoses. Properties of fibers obtained from viscoses with increased α‐cellulose content were discussed. It has also been found that such fibers show higher linear density and their tensile strength depends on the α‐cellulose content in the viscose.
