Abstract: Highly absorbent cellulosic fibers are made by incorporating therein from 2%-35% based on the weight of cellulose of a polymerized acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid or a copolymer of acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid with any one or combination of other polymerizable hydrophilic monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile and the like.
Abstract: The present invention concerns novel flameproofed regenerated cellulose incorporating, as flameproofing agent, a phosphoric acid or thiophosphoric acid mono- or triamide.
