Viscose is a viscous
organic liquid used to make
rayon and
cellophane.
Cellulose from
wood or
cotton
fibres is treated with
sodium hydroxide, then mixed with
carbon disulphide to form cellulose
xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium
hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded
through a slit to make
cellophane, or through a spinneret to
make viscose
rayon
(sometimes simply called viscose).
The process for manufacturing viscose was
discovered by three British chemists,
Charles Cross, Edward Bevan and Clayton
Beadle, in 1891. Viscose is becoming less
common because of the polluting effects of
carbon disulphide and other by-products of
the process.
