On the orientation of the chains in the mercerized cellulose

Abstract The cold alkaline treatment or mercerization of cellulose is widely used in industry to enrich the cellulose raw with high-molecular-weight $$\alpha$$ α -cellulose. Washing out of hemicelluloses by alkalies is accompanied by the rearrangement of the cellulose chains’ packing, well known as...
