Description

Linters cellulose was treated with electron or γ-radiation within a wide range of dose rate and then subjected to enzymatic and acid hydrolytic degradation, respectively. At radiation of low dose rate acid hydrolytic degradation results in a strong decrease of the LODP and of the residues as compared with non-irradiated samples. Enzymatic degradation was found to be accelerated by high energy pre-irradiation. Pre-irradiation at low dose rate caused retardation of enzymatic hydrolysis as compared with non-irradiated samples.
