Formation of peroxides on cellulose derivatives such as fibrous carboxymethyl cellulose, acrylic acid‐grafted cellulose, and aldehyde cellulose with the use of hydrogen peroxide was investigated. Formation of peroxides was observed for each cellulose derivative with the reaction at 25°C and the amount of formation was related closely to the carboxyl or carbonyl contents in the samples. The peroxides were fairly stable in wet samples at low temperatures, but almost all peroxides were decomposed at 60°C. When the cellulose peroxides were warmed with water, hydrogen peroxide separated from the cellulose peroxides into an aqueous medium. The structure of the peroxides formed on the cellulose derivatives is discussed on the basis of the experimental results.
