Thermooxidative degradation of watersoluble acetylcellulose and its carboxycontaining derivatives

The thermooxidative degradation of water-soluble acetylcellulose and some of its carboxy-containing derivatives has been studied by the methods of thermal analysis. A relationship has been established between the thermostability of the aceto-mixed derivatives and the nature of the substituting group. Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology.
