Abstract
Abstract In a viscose manufacturing process, the additional steps of using diverse forms of cellulosic materials by ball-milling these diverse forms of cellulosic materials and subsequently adding the ball-milled material to the alkali cellulose which is prepared as an intermediate during the process of manufacturing viscose, in an amount up to about 50 percent by weight based on the combined weight of the ball-milled cellulosic material added plus the weight of the cellulose content of the alkali cellulose present.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the ball-milled cellulosic material is added to the alkali cellulose by broad-casting the cellulosic material over the surface of thE alkali cellulose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the ball-milled cellulosic material is added in the amount of about 15 to 50 weight percent based on the combined weight of the ball-milled cellulosic material added plus the cellulose content of the alkali cellulose present.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
