Abstract

It belongs to one of the oldest experiences of mankind to use fibrous materials of plant or animal origin with different fibre lengths and fineness as basic materials of human clothes. Cellulose forms linear macromolecules, preferentially useful for an application as textile fibres. Common used pulp fibres are too short for those applications and have to be transformed into staple fibres like wool or endless fibres like silk by means of solution shaping procedures. Dissolution of cellulose in common protic solvents like water or alcohol is hindered due to intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. For that reason cellulose derivatives like cellulose nitrate, cellulose xanthogenate or cellulose acetate were used first in order to manufacture cellulose manmade fibres. Situation changes after investigation of direct dissolving liquids like cyclic amine oxides, especially N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, and large-scale manufacturing of it became reality. In the late 1970s up to the late 1990s, direct dissolution technology, nowadays well known as Lyocell process, w
