The results of the effect of ethylamine treatment on the crystallinity of cellulose under various conditions have been presented. The mode of removal of the swelling agent from cellulose is important in determining the amount of change in the lateral order structure of cellulose. It seems that the apparent change in crystallinity observed by ethylamine treatment is due to the swelling of cellulose, producing disorder only in the so‐called amorphous content of cellulose.
