Abstract
Abstract An improved method for forming a thin nitrocellulose film of reproducible thickness is described. The film is a cellulose nitrate film, 10 to 20 microns in thickness, cast from a solution of cellulose nitrate in tetrahydrofuran, said solution containing from 7 to 15 percent, by weight, of dioctyl phthalate, said cellulose nitrate having a nitrogen content of from 10 to 13 percent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A CELLULOSE NITRATE FILM 100O0 02000 MICRONS IN THICKNESS, UNIFORMLY THICK WITHIN $0.5 MICRON, SAID FILM FORMED BY A METHOD WHICH COMPRISES FORMING A SOLUTION OF CELLULOSE NITRATE CONTAINING 10-13 PERCENT BY WEIGHT NITROGEN IN TETRAHYDROFURAN, SAID SOLUTION CONTAINING 7-15 PERCENT BY WEIGHT DIOCTYL PHTHALATE BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF CELLULOSE NITRATE, EVAPORATING SAID SOLUTION ON A FLAT SURFACE, DRYING THE RESULTANT FILM, REMOVING SAID FILM FROM SAID SURFACE. AND THEN ANNEALING SAID FILM TO EMOVE RESIDUAL SOLVENT.
