Structural changes in radiosterilized hydrocellulose during aging

The effects of aging (for one month and one year) on hydroxycellulose subjected to primary chemical oxidation and radiosterilization were studied. Changes in the chemical structure and the energy excitation of atomic groups of the cellulose skeleton were assessed from qualitative and quantitative viewpoints. The magnitude of activation energy and wight losses in individual destructive reactions were interpreted in numerical terms using oxidative pyrolysis on a derivatograph
