Abstract
Cellulose fibers with modified properties have been prepared from cellulose solutions in NβmethylmorpholineβNβoxide (NMMO). Poly(ethylene oxide) as a hydrophilic modifier and polyethylene as a hydrophobic modifier were added to the spinning solution. Based on microscope examination and measurements of such properties of fibers as porosity, moisture absorption, water retention, and tensile strength, structural changes as well as physical and mechanical properties of the resultant fibers depending on the amount of modifier added to the spinning solution were analyzed.

The N-oxide group of the cellulose solvent N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide showed a strong preference for the axial position compared with N-methyl as determined by NMR experiments and computational studies. In solvents with negligible solvent -solute interaction, about 95% of the NMMO molecules obtained
