This document discusses a study on measuring the temperature dependence of the specific heat of cellulose fibers. The researchers found that while many studies had looked at phase transitions in polymers by measuring specific heat, no systematic study had been done on cellulose fibers. They conducted experiments to measure the specific heat of various cellulose fibers at different temperatures. The results showed differences in specific heat that agreed with views on the molecular chain mobility in the different fibers. Specifically, ramie fiber had the lowest specific heat, indicating the highest molecular interaction, while unstretched viscose fiber had the highest, reflecting more flexibility. The study was a continuation of prior work investigating the effects of moisture on cellulose fiber structure and heat of solution.

A FAIRLY large number of measurements of specific heats of polymers, dealing
with the study of phase transitions, determination of temperatures, melting points and glass-transition, have been carried out with crystallizing polymers. No systematic study has been carried out by measuring the temperature dependence of the specific heat of cellulose and cellulose fibres. In addition to the purely practical difficulties arising during the measurement of the specific heat of highly hydrophilic cellulose fibres, the high glass-transition temperature of cellulose, exceeding its decomposition temperature, inhibits use of specific heat data for determination of phase transitions (the main purpose of the method). This, however, does not exclude the use of the method in the study of structural features of the polymer; this is, in particular, confirmed by the results of measurements of the actual specific heat (C,) of cellulose fibres at room temperature, obtained by the authors [1]. The marked differences in the specific heats of various kinds of cellulose fibre from aas~retched viscose fibre to natural ramie fibres show a satisfactory agreement with the views on molecular chain mobility, e.g. the minimum specific heat corresponds to the ramie fibre with maximum molecular interaction and the maximum to the unstretched fibre. The difference in the degrees of flexibility of molecular chains, according to specific heat data, are clearly apparent for non-crystallizing polymers and very slight for crystalline polymers. Unlike cellulose fibres, the discrepancy between the actual specific heats of unstretched and stretched polycaproamide fibres is only 1%, which is also typ- ical of other synthetic fibres. From a joint investigation into the dependence of the specific heat of cel- lulose fibres on their moisture contents and heats of solution it was shown that hydrated cellulose fibres do not crystallize by the effect of moisture and the phase remains amorphous. The determination of temperature dependence of specific heat is a continuation of investigations carried out in this field. Results of measurements should enable the character of structural variations taking
