Coagulation studies for cellulose in the ammonia/ammonium thiocyanate (NH3/NH4SCN) direct solvent system

An extensive study of the coagulation of cellulose from cellulose/ammonia/ammonium thiocyanate solutions is presented. The effect of major variables upon the coagulation process for cellulose solutions is reported. Microscopic observations of the moving boundary associated with the coagulation were performed on gelled cellulose solutions to determine the coagulation rate as a function of molecular volumes of coagulant, bath temperatures, bath compositions, and cellulose concentrations. The data were analyzed by means of a one-dimensional linear diffusion model based on Fick's law, thereby depicting the mechanism of the coagulation process, and obtaining the diffusion coefficients of mobile components involved in the coagulation.     

Effects of polymer concentration and coagulation temperature on the properties of regenerated cellulose films prepared from LiOH/urea solution

Aqueous 5 wt% LiOH/12 wt% urea solution pre-cooled to −12 °C has a more powerful ability to dissolve cellulose compared to that of NaOH/urea and NaOH/thiourea solution system. The influences of the cellulose concentration and coagulation temperature on the structure, pore size and mechanical properties of the cellulose films prepared from LiOH/urea system were investigated. The cellulose films exhibited good mechanical properties either at wet or dry state and their pore size and water permeability at wet state can be controlled by changing the cellulose concentration or coagulation temperature. With a decrease of the coagulation temperature, the mechanical properties and optical transmittance of the cellulose films enhanced, as a result of the formation of relative smaller pore size and denser structures. This work provided a promising way to prepare cellulose films with different pore sizes at wet state and good physical properties at dry state.     

The coagulation of cellulose from anisotropic solutions in the NH3/NH4SCN solvent system

Coagulation of cellulose has been studied in cellulose/ammonia/ammonium thiocyanate anisotropic solutions. The effect of coagulation variables such as coagulant, bath temperature, and cellulose concentration on the coagulation process is reported. The coagulation rate was measured by microscopic observation of the moving boundary associated with coagulation. Results indicate that the coagulation rate increases with increasing cellulose concentration and bath temperature. Methanol has the highest coagulation power among the coagulants employed. Mass transfer rate difference and equilibrium swelling were also measured. The results on the mass transfer rate differences show that the mass transfer rate of NH₃/NH₄SCN is greater than those of the respective coagulants under all coagulation conditions. The equilibrium swelling decreases with increasing bath temperature and cellulose concentration.     

Change of morphological properties in drawing water‐swollen cellulose films prepared from organic solutions. a view of molecular orientation in the drawing process

Drawable water‐swollen cellulose films were prepared by coagulating in water two different cellulose organic solution systems. The drawability of the water‐swollen films was dependent on the rate of coagulation. Transparent films prepared by the slow coagulation showed good drawability and had a maximum draw ratio of 2.0. However, the drawn films maintained the highly noncrystalline state even after dried at 50°C under vacuum. X‐ray analysis and polarized FT‐IR measurements performed under a saturated deuterium oxide vapor of these dried drawn films, prepared by slow coagulation, showed that their noncrystalline regions (more than 80%) as well as crystalline regions (less than 20%) were highly oriented by the drawing process. Furthermore, meridional intensity curves in the X‐ray diffraction exhibited interesting patterns even though the drawn sample was highly noncrystalline. In fact, they are quite different from those in regenerated cellulose II fibers. However, despite this increase in draw ratio and in the orientation of the chains, the number of crystalline domains in the films did not increase significantly. This may perhaps be attributed to the three‐dimensional network structure resulting from the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between chains which are maintained through the drawing process and which can hinder the crystallization of cellulose. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Ag@AgCl embedded on cellulose film: a stable,highly efficient and easily recyclable photocatalyst

In this work, cellulose–Ag@AgCl composite films have been fabricated directly through a one-step coagulation of a cellulose/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl) solution with AgNO₃ and PVP. The AgCl was formed upon the addition of AgNO₃ to a cellulose/BmimCl solution, and underwent further reaction with excess Cl^?, leading to the complete dissolution of AgCl. The AgCl crystals were regenerated on the cellulose matrix during the coagulation process. The AgCl was partial decomposed to Ag⁰ and formed Ag@AgCl under visible light irradiation. The morphology of Ag@AgCl in the cellulose matrix was controlled by varying the concentration of PVP. The addition of PVP enabled the formation of stable cellulose films embedded with Ag@AgCl. The composite film demonstrated efficient photodegradation of methyl orange, which was retained upon recycling. This work thus provides a simple pathway for the preparation of Ag@AgCl embedded on a polymer support via one-step coagulation.     

Cellulose–silica composite aerogels from “one-pot” synthesis

Cellulose–silica composite aerogels were prepared via “one-pot” process: aqueous solutions of cellulose–8 wt% NaOH and sodium silicate were mixed, coagulated and dried with supercritical CO₂. The system was studied both in the fluid and solid (dry) states. Cellulose and sodium silicate solutions were mixed at different temperatures and concentrations; mixture properties were monitored using dynamic rheology. The gelation time of the mixture was strongly reduced as compared to that of cellulose–NaOH solutions; we interpret this phenomenon as cellulose self-aggregation inducing partial coagulation due to competition for the solvent with sodium silicate. The gelled cellulose/sodium silicate samples were placed in aqueous acid solution which completed cellulose coagulation and led to in situ formation of sub-micronic silica particles trapped in a porous cellulose matrix. After drying with supercritical CO₂, an organic–inorganic aerogel composite was formed. The densities obtained were in the range of 0.10–0.25 g/cm³ and the specific surface area was between 100 and 200 m²/g. The silica phase was shown to have a reinforcing effect on the cellulose aerogel, increasing its Young’s modulus.     

Preparation of submicron‐scale,electrospun cellulose fibers via direct dissolution

Cellulose nonwoven mats of submicron‐sized fibers (150 nm–500 nm in diameter) were obtained by electrospinning cellulose solutions. A solvent system based on lithium chloride (LiCl) and N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was used, and the effects of (i) temperature of the collector, (ii) type of collector (aluminum mesh and cellulose filter media), and (iii) postspinning treatment, such as coagulation with water, on the morphology of electrospun fibers were investigated. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray diffraction studies of as‐spun fibers at room temperature reveal that the morphology of cellulose fibers evolves with time due to moisture absorption and swelling caused by the residual salt and solvent. Although heating the collector greatly enhances the stability of the fiber morphology, the removal of salt by coagulation and DMAc by heating the collector was necessary for the fabrication of dry and stable cellulose fibers with limited moisture absorption and swelling. The presence and removal of the salt before and after coagulation have been identified by electron microprobe and X‐ray diffraction studies. When cellulose filter media is used as a collector, dry and stable fibers were obtained without the coagulation step, and the resulting electrospun fibers exhibit good adhesion to the filter media. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structure and properties of the regenerated cellulose membranes prepared from cellulose carbamate in NaOH/ZnO aqueous solution

Regenerated cellulose (RC) membranes were prepared from cellulose carbamate—NaOH/ZnO aqueous solutions by coagulating with H₂SO₄ solution. Structure, morphology and properties of the membranes were investigated by using scanning electron micrograph (SEM), X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, flow rate method, and tensile testing. The results from SEM and water permeability revealed that the pore size and water permeability of the membranes in wet state changed drastically as a function of the concentration of H₂SO₄ and coagulation temperature, whereas they hardly changed with the coagulation time. RC membranes coagulated with the relatively dilute H₂SO₄ solution at relatively low temperature exhibited better mechanical properties. This work provided a promising way to prepare cellulose membranes with different pore sizes and good physical properties.
