In the context of valorization lignin produced from pulp and paper industries, biodegradable UV-protection films were prepared using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Initially, CNC optimized for improving their transparency by studying effect various sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations. Maximum (%) transmittance film was obtained NaOH addition between 3 4 wt %. The suspensions used incorporating alkaline (AL) softwood kraft (SKL) in concentrations (1-10 %). Morphological characterization...
Cellulose nanopaper (CNP) has been considered as a promising material with great application potential in diverse fields. However, the hydrophilic nature of CNP significantly limits its practical application. In order to improve water resistance, we demonstrate facile approach functionalize by impregnating it chitosan (CS), followed situ polymerization polypyrrole (PPy). The results indicate that obtained CNP/CS/PPy shows excellent resistance wet tensile strength up 80 MPa, which is more...
Reinforcing and UV-absorbing kraft lignin-grafted TEMPO cellulose nanofibers (TKL) were synthesized using amidation of paper mill sludge-derived TEMPO-oxidized (TCNFs) aminated lignin (AKL). Furthermore, modification TKL was carried out to reduce colored chromophores hydrogen peroxide treatment obtain peroxide-bleached (PBTKL100 PBTKL400). These modified CNFs (TKL, PBTKL100, PBTKL400) introduced into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix at various concentrations aqueous solution processing...
Although the removal of lignin and hemicelluloses from cellulose pulp to produce fully bleached nanofibrils (B-CNF) is most common practice, presence residual in raw materials for production containing (LCNFs) holds several advantages. In this work, we investigated effect Eucalyptus globulus fibers on properties resulting LCNFs. The stability colloidal suspensions was assessed by zeta-potential values charge density analyses. Morphology CNFs studied using scanning electron microscopy atomic...
Abstract Over 60 lignin‐related model compounds were phosphitylated with 2‐chloro‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethyldioxaphospholane, a sterically hindered analogue of 2‐chloro‐1,3,2‐dioxaphospholane used in earlier work, and their 31 P chemical shifts recorded. Excellent resolution between the carboxylic acids, phenols aliphatic alcohols was obtained. The correlations phosphorus environments using Hammett principles provided an excellent linear relationship resonance substituent constant, σ ,...
