Aminated cottons of nitrogen contents ranging up to 29% are prepared by heating chemical cotton with ethylenimine at 140°-180°C. These products are considerably different from cellu lose in their physical and chemical properties. A possible chemical structure for these materials is discussed but is shown to be not entirely satisfactory.
