Abstract
THERE has been increasing interest in the investigation of thermal transitions in cellulose. It has been established that the glass transition temperature is in the region 200°–250° C, and there is ample experimental evidence to indicate a transition at 20°–25° C. This transition is also seen in glucose and cellobiose1–3. The purpose of this communication is to report a recently discovered transition at around −30° C, observed in measurements of damping and thermal expansion of paper produced from wood cellulose.
