Effect of Moisture on the Orientation Birefringence of Cellulose Esters

Effect of Moisture on the Orientation Birefringence of Cellulose Esters

Orientation birefringence and its wavelength dispersion are studied for hot-drawn films of cellulose esters such as cellulose triacetate (CTA), cellulose diacetate (CDA), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) exposed to three different humidities of environments. Hot-drawn CTA films show negative b...
