“…Certainly it is known that the cellulose molecule is oxidized by N 2 O 4 to form primarily a carboxyl at the C -6 position and secondarily aldehyde and ketone groups at other positions in the molecule (42) Other polymers are known to undergo chain scission by NOj (43,44), but the only work that we have found that relates to the degradation of paper is a study of the degradation of cotton fabric (45) In this work, cotton fabric was exposed at room temperature and normal humidity to atmospheres separately containing various concentrations of NO 2 …”

“…65 The possibility that certain metals may catalyze reactions of air pollutants with paper, or that some functional groups may cause paper to be more susceptible, cannot be overlooked. Nitrogen dioxide has been found to degrade cotton, partially acetylated cotton, 67 and cellulose acetate film. 23 From these examples, it is obvious that air pollutants other than sulfur dioxide can give trouble.…”

Cotton has been made unusually resistant to degradation by weather by first dyeing it with certain light-stable vat dyes and following this with partial acetylation. Vat dyeing alone or partial acetylation alone do not make cotton significantly more resistant to deterioration by sunlight than undyed fabrics, except for a few colors which do have a protective effect. However, when these two processes are combined, excellent resistance to solar radiation is added to the excellent mildew-and rot-resistance of partially acetylated cotton. Data were obtained on a number of individual vat-dyed and vat-dyed and acetylated cotton materials that had been exposed to outdoor weathering. From the results of these tests, it is estimated that the combination of vat dyeing with light fast colors and acetylating may more than double the outdoor service life compared to cotton vat dyed only, or acetylated only, with somewhat better color retention when the cotton has been both dyed and acetylated.
