An attempt was made to determine phase diagram of cellulose acetates (CA) with total degree of substitution ⟨ ⟨F⟩ ⟩ ranging from 0.52 to 2.86, in a mixture of sulfuric acid (SA), poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA), and water (W). In the mixture with very specific composition of SA/PPA/W (=0.1/0.8/0.1, wt/wt/wt), in which cellulose has been reported to form liquid crystal by Kamide et al. [Polym. J., 25, 453 (1993)], all of the cellulose acetates showed anisotropic behavior. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the cellulose acetate mesophase indicated that the texture is left handed cholesteric irrespective of ⟨ ⟨F⟩ ⟩. The helicoidal cholesteric pitch (P) determined by the CD method remarkably depends on ⟨ ⟨F⟩ ⟩, polymer concentration (Cp) and temperature (T). The pitch monotonically increases with an increase of ⟨ ⟨F⟩ ⟩ at constant temperature and polymer concentration. The reciprocal pitch of all samples is proportional to T and Cp3. The coefficients of these relations indicated that the pitch of the sample with larger ⟨ ⟨F⟩ ⟩ tends to show less dependency on temperature and polymer concentration.
