Abstract

The paper reviews in brief the salient features of the work under study at T.D.E.L., Kanpur. The requisite historical background is provided. The results are reported under two main heads- (i) Fundamental studies on the action of light on cellulose, and (ii) Barriers for the prevention of light attack on cellulose. Extensive investigations, on barriers which will minimize the extent of photolysis have shown that urea-formal-dehyde resin and hydrated manganese oxide are outstanding. The mechanism of protection has been investigated.
