Moisture absorption, dielectric properties, and x‐ray crystallinity of cellulose handsheets and deacetylated cellulose acetate films have been determined. The moisture absorption of the treated samples was lower than that of the controls. Further, the changes of the electrical properties of the treated samples agreed with the observed decrease in the moisture absorptions of the treated samples: no significant change in their crystallinity was noted.
