This article reports the use of classical light scattering to study cellulose in the NH3/NH4SCN solvent system. Three solvent compositions were used, 27.01 73.0,25.5/ 74.5, and 24.51 75.5 weight ammonia/weight ammonium thiocyanate. The coefficient, ( dn / dc ) υ , was determined by back calculating using the molecular weight determined by solution viscometry in the solvent system cupriethylenediamine and the classical light‐scattering results. Second virial coefficients were found to be similar to those values measured for cellulose in the FeTNa and LiCl/DMAC solvent systems. The characteristic ratios were found to vary with solvent composition with the highest values being at a composition of 25.5/74.5 weight ammonia/ weight ammonium thiocyanate. Persistence lengths were also found to vary with solvent composition with the highest value being 264 × 10 −8 cm at solvent composition 25.5/74.5.
