Reaction of woven cotton, linen, rayon, and cellulose secondary acetate with steam at three temperatures from 1152°to 153.0°is measured, after rinsing of cloth in water as amount of change in brightness, reducing action, weight, and wet strength of each polar polymer and change in acetyl of the cellulose secondary acetate. The trends of interdependence among the~e changes and the linearity of the relationship between logarithm of change and~eclpro~l of absolute temperature are compared as slopes.Apparent energies of mteractlOn are evaluated as parameters of the Arrhenius and Eyring equations for temperature dependence of rate of reaction under the assumption that increment in copper(II) reduced to copper (1) by residual fiber and decrement in acetyl of the cellulose seconda~y acetate were each directly proportionate to rate of reversible reaction. The lo~anthm of the pre-exponential parameter is shown to increase linearly with ArrhenIUS energy of activation as change in entropy increases linearly with change in enthalpy accompanying depolymerization of the bleached linen bleached cotton, rayon, and desized unbleached cotton.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
