#REDIRECT [[Rayon]] |
|||
'''Viscose''' is a viscous organic liquid used to make [[rayon]] and [[cellophane]]. [[Cellulose]] from [[wood]] or [[cotton]] fibres is treated with [[sodium hydroxide]], then mixed with [[carbon disulfide]] to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded through a slit to make [[cellophane]], or through a spinneret to make viscose [[rayon]] (sometimes simply called '''viscose'''). |
|||
The process for manufacturing viscose was discovered by three British chemists, Charles Cross, Edward Bevan and Clayton Beadle, in [[1891]]. Viscose is becoming less common because of the polluting effects of carbon disulfide and other by-products of the process. |
