Abstract
The kinetics of cellulose degradation was analysed by means of a two-stage model, characterised by an autoretardant and autocatalytic regime, later tempered by the consumption of glycosidic bonds in the amorphous regions. The proposed model explains the effects on the kinetic equations of different modes of ageing (acid hydrolysis, ageing in ventilated oven or sealed vessels), initial oxidation of cellulose and experimental procedures (with or...
