Abstract
This paper is devoted to the rheological properties of cationic cellulosic fibres with different degrees of substitution and swelling. Depending on th e concentration of the fibre suspension, the system behaves as a solution ( C < 5 g/l) or as a gel. The rheological characteristics of the suspensions are directly related to the degree of substitution, the degree of swelling and the degree of fibrillation of the material.
