Abstract
This work proposed a homogeneous preparation strategy of cellulose acetate by using a deep eutectic solvent consisting of zinc chloride/phosphoric acid/water (ZnCl2/PA/H2O). The results showed that the DES (the molar ratio of ZnCl2: PA: H2O = 1:1:3) had good solubility for bamboo pulp with high degree of polymerization. The dynamic dissolution behavior of cellulose in DES was also studied. Cellulose was first moistened and swollen and then dissolved. The crystalline state of cellulose changed from type I to type II after regeneration. Under the synergistic effect of acetic anhydride (Ac2O), the dissolved cellulose in DES could be uniformly acetylated. The effects of temperature, reaction time and molar ratio of Ac2O/anhydrous glucose on degree of substitution (DS) were investigated in their respective ranges (30–50 °C, 2–10 h and 4–24). Cellulose acetate with DS of 0.42–1.81 was successfully prepared. The substituent distribution of the sample was analyzed as C-6 > C-2 > C-3. Moreover, the entire process required no additional catalysts or activation steps, reducing the difficulty of solvent recovery. The insight from this study provides a new idea for the development of greener methods for the homogeneous preparation of cellulose acetate.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
