Abstract: Hydroxyl polymer-containing compositions, especially hydroxyl polymer-containing compositions that can be processed into polymeric structures, especially polymeric structures in the form of fibers are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to high-strength, possibly pigment-containing—for example flame-retardant—regenerated cellulosic filaments having improved textile properties, in particular as regards strength and uniformity, to their use for the production of fabrics, and to a method for the production of these filaments.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a cellulose film in which a) cellulose is at least partly dissolved at a temperature of about 100° C. or lower in a dope comprising an ionic liquid and a cosolvent to form a cellulose solution, wherein said cosolvent comprises a polar aprotic component, and B) cellulose film is cast from the cellulose solution.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a stable hydrocolloid welan gum in which a hydrocolloid, preferably welan gum, is uniformly dispersed in a superplasticizer such as sulfonated naphthalene, sulfonated melamine, modified lignosulfate, their derivatives and mixtures thereof. This is then dispersed in a rheological control agent which is a microbially-produced cellulose fiber composition. The composition is rapidly hydratable and useful as a stabilizing additive in many cement and drilling fluid applications, insulation fluids and de-icer compositions.
