Estimate of stiffness of the cellulose cuprammonium complex macromolecule in solution

Conclusions A tentative estimate of the stiffness (from the Kuhn segment) of the cuprammonium complex of cellulose (CCC) in solution has been given; it is about 200 A.The calculated concentration for transition of a CCC solution into the liquid-crystal state is in excess of 27% by wt.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 3, pp. 23–24, May–June, 1988.
