5、ose Acetate ButyrateD871 Test Methods of Testing Cellulose Acetate3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The cellulose ester is dissolved in pyridine and thehydroxyl sites on the cellulose ester are acetylated with aceticanhydride in the presence of basic catalyst,1-methylimidazole.The excess acetic anhydride
6、is hydrolyzed and the resultingacetic acid is titrated with sodium hydroxide.An automatictitrator dispenses the titrant,potentiometrically determines theendpoint,and calculates the percent hydroxyl on the celluloseester based on a blank determination.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method provid
7、es a simpler means for thedetermination of the hydroxyl content of cellulose esters thanthe preparation and measurement of the carbanilate derivativedescribed in Test Methods D817 and D871.4.2 The hydroxyl content is an important indicator ofsolubility and reactivity.5.Interferences5.1 Undissolved e
