ediated by Variable pH Over Time
[0078]As can be seen in Table 1 to Table 3, and FIG. 1, the initial outer diameter of the shells increased slightly at higher pH. Comparing the outer diameters in FIG. 1 with the outer diameters in FIG. 2, as well as the initial values and the values after 2 to 3 hours, it is clear that all three polymer types decreased in size and that there was a high degree of similarity between the two dissolving pulps. An explanation could possible be derived from a decreased gas pressure inside the shell upon water diffusing into it, decreasing the outward radial pressure and thereby decreasing the size of the shell.

ediated by Variable Salt Concentration Over Time
[0081]The salt concentration was varied over a concentration ranging from 0 to 0.1 M. The initial values were measured using light microscopy at an initial time point and after 2 to 3 hours.
[0082]The obtained results indicate that the outer diameter did not change significantly for the two dissolving pulps when altering the salt concentration, but the shell comprised of sulphate pulp increased in size. The explanation for this relates to a high degree of deformation of the normally substantially spherical shells, leading to an increased diameter with the applied two-dimensional measurement. Consequently, the error was too large for the Grycksbo pulp, but one could conclude that the two dissolving pulps displayed highly similar characteristics (FIG. 5).
[0083]After 2 to 3 hours in solution over a range of different salt concentrations, the dissolving pulp with the lowest D. S. had a slightly larger outer diameter than the dissolving pulp...

of Washing on the Properties of the Cellulose Shells
[0084]Table 7 to table 9 show the change in the sizes of the shells after washing. In accordance with the previous results, the outer diameters of the shells do not change significantly when changing neither the pH nor the salt concentration. However, the thickness of the walls of the shell increased, indicating an inwards radial swelling when ions were added to the solution, implying that the forces restraining the swelling were reduced when raising the pH to 10 or increasing the salt concentration to 10−3 M.
