Surface characterization of cellulose fibres by XPS and inverse gas chromatography

Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used to determine the dispersive component of the free energy as well as the acid-base properties of cellulose fibre surfaces, before and after modification by corona treatment. It was found that the corona treatment increases both the dispersive contribution to surface energy and its acidic character, whereas only a slight increase in its basicity was observed. It was also found that some chemical degradation of the surface occurs at high corona currents. The extent of modification of the surface properties, as revealed by IGC, was correlated to the surface chemical composition deduced from XPS analysis as well as with the electrical conductance and the pH of the water suspensions of the cellulose fibres.     

Interaction of water with the regenerated cellulose membrane studied by DSC

One to three endothermal peaks atributted to melting of bulk and interfacial water were observed by DSC in the regenerated cellulose — water system. The profiles of thermal effects depend on water content, time of conditioning, film pretreatment and the conditions applied during the preceding freezing-thawing cycles. The occurrence might be deduced of melting-crystallisation processes. A large amount of non-freezable strongly bounded water was also detected. Although cellulose absorbs water quickly after immersion, the structural changes consisting on ordering of polymer fraction occur during further conditioning due to increase in strength of water binding. Using the membranes in the separation module at 90°C causes weakening of these bonds. Differences between interaction of particular cellulose films with water can be detected during the first, the second and the third heating. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Influence of the heating conditions on the thermal and chemical behaviour of solid particles undergoing a fast endothermic decomposition

This paper deals with models describing the thermal and chemical behaviour of solid particles undergoing fast endothermic reactions under the influence of an external heat flux. The heat source temperature is supposed to be constant, to increase with time, or to deliver a simple thermal flash. It is shown that the pyrolysis conditions (reaction temperature, conversion, etc.) depend on the chemical characteristics of the reaction and also to a large extent on the external heating conditions. Relationships are proposed to take into account these parameters. The results are applied to the thermal decomposition of NaHCO₃. The pyrolysis of cellulose is finally chosen in order to show how these operating parameters can also affect the selectivity of a more complex reaction.

Synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrids by incorporation of inorganic components into organic polymer using metal alkoxides

Inorganic-organic hybrids have been synthesized by incorporation of the inorganic component of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ into the organic polymer of ethyl cellulose. The inorganic-organic hybrids did not dissolve in toluene used as a solvent for the starting materials. The ethanol was formed as a by-product of the alcoholysis condensation reaction between Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ and ethyl cellulose. These results suggest that ethoxy groups of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ react with hydroxy groups of ethyl cellulose to form cross-linking bonds of –O–Ti–O–. The reaction of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ with ethyl cellulose was further investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FT-IR spectroscopic experiments revealed that the Ti–O bond state of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ was changed by refluxing a toluene solution of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ with ethyl cellulose. The inorganic-organic hybrids have an interesting dielectric property; their dielectric constant is higher than that of ethyl cellulose and that of a simple mixture of TiO₂ and ethyl cellulose.

Electrosorption of sodium cellulose sulfates with different substitution patterns

Various types of sodium cellulose sulfate (SCS), dissolved in a 1M LiCl solution, were investigated by alternating current (AC)polarography. The SCS samples differed in the degree of substitution (DS), thedistribution of substituents within the anhydroglucose unit (AGU), and alongthechain, due to the method of synthesis. The goal was to study theelectrosorptionbehavior, characterized by the shape of the desorption wave in the polarogram,as a function of the chemical structure of the SCS samples. The shape of thedesorption wave reflects domains of different substitution. A superimpositionofparameters like DS and pattern of substitution on the electrosorption behaviorwas observed. The AC polarography method described can be used as a tool todistinguish between an even or uneven distribution of substituents along thecellulose chain.

HPLC of antibiotics. 1. Streptolydigin and related compounds

Two new acyltetramic acids related to streptolydigin have been isolated from fermentations of Streptomyces lydicus. The principal members of this complex were resolved by TLC on silica gel. However, the methods of detection, permanganate spray or bioautography, were not suitable for both crude fermentation broths and purified extracts. Gas chromatography is unsuitable for the detection of either underivatized or silylated streptolydigins. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) particularly on triethylaminoethyl cellulose is rapid and sensitive and is the method of choice for the analysis of both crude and purified samples. Using high performance liquid chromatography, two components were detected in the complex, which are not observed using any of the other chromatographic procedures.
