Cyanoethyl celluloses (CECs) with different degree of substitution (DS) were synthesized by homogeneous reaction of cellulose (cotton linter pulp and absorbent cotton) with acrylonitrile (AN) in LiOH/urea aqueous solutions. The reaction showed quick reactivity and high transfer efficiency of etherification agent. The DS values of CECs were controlled by varying the molar ratio of AN to anhydroglucose...
ZnO was added to the NaOH/urea aqueous solution to increase the solubility of cellulose at low temperature. The cellulose solution was characterized with 13 C NMR, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) to evaluate the interaction between solvent and cellulose and the dissolution mechanism. The results indicated that the...
In this work, the carboxymethylation of cellulose in a new alkaline cellulose solvent, LiOH/urea aqueous solution, was investigated. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) samples were characterized with FT‐IR, NMR, HPLC, and viscosity measurements. Water‐soluble CMC with DS = 0.36∼0.65 was prepared, from both Avicel cellulose and cotton linters in the LiOH/urea system. The total DS of CMC could be controlled...
Dissolution of cellulose having different viscosity-average molecular weight (Mη) in 7 wt%NaOH/12 wt%urea aqueous solution at temperature from 60 to −12.6°C was investigated with optical microscope, viscosity measurements and wide X-ray diffraction (WXRD). The solubility (Sa) of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution strongly depended on the temperature, and molecular weight. Their Sa values increased...
