Large quantities of hydrophobic vinyl polymers deposited inside viscose rayon fibres reduce water imbibition comparatively slightly, but hydrophilic polymers increase the imbibition. Measurements of the absorption‐desorption isotherms of fibres containing various polymers show that deposition of polymethyl methacrylate or polystyrene produces little effect on the moisture contents calculated on the weight of cellulose. Introduction of hydrophilic polymers increases the moisture contents of the fibres.
