Abstract
Formic acid was found to dissolve sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaβCMC) with comparatively slight chain degradation. The dissolution of NaβCMC in a wide range of degree of substitution from 0.4 to 2.0 occurs under partial formylation of the remaining OH groups of the polymer, i.e., formic acid is the first nonβaqueous, soβcalled derivatizing solvent. The NaβCMC formyl esters, which can be isolated under waterβfree conditions, are even soluble in dipolarβaprotic solvents, and they can be regenerated to NaβCMC by treating with aqueous solutions of NaOH.

Study of the dependence on concentration of the reduced viscosity of carboxymethylcelluloses (CMC), in the absence of added salts and down to relative viscosity 1.01, leads to two typical parameters of the polyion. The molecular dimensions of H-CMC and Na-CMC have been determined from these two para
