Abstract
The thermal expansion of cotton cellulose was studied. The 101, 101, and 002 spacings were measured at 28 different temperatures from −151°C to 232°C. It was found that only for the 002 spacings could enough accuracy be attained to calculate the coefficients of thermal expansion. A curve of the coefficient of thermal expansion for the 002 spacing vs. temperature was obtained.
