The Mechanism of Swollen State Formaldehyde Crosslinking of Cellulose
1972
Smith, F.R.
The formation of crosslinks depends on resonance stabilization of carbonium ion centered on the methylene carbon. The rate of formaldehyde add-on is increased by increasing hydrogen ion activity and by including an alcohol in the formaldehyde-acid solution, thus making hemiformal appear to be the most active formaldehyde source.
