A method of making a solution of a polysaccharide, particularly cellulose, in an aqueous tertiary amine N-oxide solvent which exhibits good thermal stability is disclosed. The solution contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula ArCR1=NNR2R3, where Ar represents an aromatic group which comprises an aromatic ring having six pi-electrons and substituted by a hydroxy group in the ortho position, optionally further substituted on the aromatic ring; R1 represents hydrogen or C1-C4 n-alkyl; R2 represents hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl; and R3 represents hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C6-C10 aryl or R4CO, where R4 represents hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C6-C10 aryl, XCONR2NH2 or XCONR2N=CR1Ar, where X represents a chemical bond, a C1-C4 alkylene or C2-C4 alkylidene group or a C6-C10 arylene group; or R2 and R3 together represent ArCR1; and of one or more precursors of such compounds; and of compounds of the formula R5CONR1NH2 wherein R5 represents hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl, C6-10 aryl or XCONR1NH2. When the groups R2, R3 and R4 are alkyl or aryl groups, they may optionally be substituted alkyl or aryl groups. When the groups R2, R3 and R4 are aryl groups, they may optionally be carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl groups. The solutions are suited to being formed into extruded articles such as fibres and films.
