Films are produced by dissolving the modified pulps in alkaline solution and by subsequently regenerating the dope in an acid bath. Here, we investigate the effects of the composition of the acid bath on the key properties of the film, as well as the influence of the degree of substitution of carboxyl groups in the pulp. Films are characterized through optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties of the films have been measured as well as their porosity. The results clearly indicate that bath composition and degree of substitution play a role in determining the final properties of the film. In particular, it has been found that the regeneration bath influences the degree of orientation of the biopolymer along a preferential direction, and that it also affects the final porosity of the film as a result of a different drying rate. This evidence provides solid basis for the optimization of the properties and production process of these films, towards the obtainment of more sustainable and affordable materials.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"31 17","pages":"10389 - 10401"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Textiles and furnishings are highly vulnerable to these hazards. However, such fire incidents can be mitigated by incorporating flame retardancy into textiles. This study proposes a novel flame retardant based on phosphorus and nitrogen-rich oligomeric structures obtained via condensation polymerization. The impact of phosphorus content has been investigated on the degree of flame retardancy. The structural morphology of the as-prepared flame retardants has been probed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermal responses of the prepared flame retardants and treated fabrics are characterized through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal protective performance (TPP), cone calorimeter, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The treated fabrics have effectively inhibited flame propagation on fire exposure. The wash durability of the treated fabrics was found remarkable owing to the retention of high retardancy even after 30 washes. The treated fabrics exhibited a higher TPP rating by a factor of 61% due to catalyzed dehydration and the formation of a protective char layer. Furthermore, the cone calorimetry test showed a significant reduction in the HRR value by 40%, and the THR value by 27%. While LOIs of cotton textiles treated with 15% FR range from 18.2% to 37.2%. The presence of antibacterial characteristics, sustained breathability, and retention of mechanical strength of cotton fabrics adds advantages to the as-prepared flame-retardant fabrics. The current synthesis, serving as a formaldehyde-free alternative, is exceptionally well-suited for the advancement of workwear development.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"31 17","pages":"10551 - 10572"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FTIR analysis and wash fastness of samples suggested that PAPAP was bound to cellulose through N–(P = O)–O–C and O–(P = O)–O–C covalent bonds. The presence of p-π conjugated effect in the (P = O)–N group of PAPAP strengthen the stability of the N–(P = O)–O–C bond, resulting in highly durable flame resistance in the finished cotton fabrics, which is supported by the fact that the treatment of cotton with 30 wt% PAPAP (30%FRC) exhibited an LOI value of 54.7%. Even after undergoing 50 washing cycles based on the AATCC 61–2013 3A standard, 30%FRC maintained an LOI value of 44.1%. Thermogravimetry (TG), TG–FTIR, cone calorimetry, and char residue analyses indicated that PAPAP modified the thermal decomposition pathway of cellulose, reduced the generation of flammable gases and promoted char formation, effectively resisting fabric fires. The whiteness, breaking strength and comfortability of the treated cotton fabrics were well sustained, and their softness was very well, even softer than that of control cotton.

In this work, a chromatogenically modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating layer was used as a high oxygen barrier material and as a model for hydroxylated polymers, including microfibrillated cellulose coating. Multiple passes can be applied to the coated layer to improve grafting densities. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms and distribution of the reagent in the coated layer or whether it also modifies the board. In this work, we have demonstrated that the modification proceeds from the surface to the interior of the PVA layer by developing an imaging technique based on labelling with osmium tetroxide (OsO<sub>4</sub>) of the double bond of an oleyl acyl chloride used as an unsaturated hydrophobizing agent. The result is a brilliant marking of the modified PVA layer strictly limited to the top surface, as revealed by SEM images. Calculations based on simple assumptions about volume expansion due to modification were compared with experimental data, i.e. measurements of the thickness of the grafted layers. The results showed that, under our experimental conditions, the reagent penetrates a zone strictly limited to the upper part of the PVA layer and never reaches the board. Moreover, the second pass does not significantly increase the reagent's penetration depth, but does significantly increase the hydrophobicity of the grafted material, as shown by the Cobb measurements. The cardboard remains intact in all the experimental situations explored on a pilot scale.

Ionic liquids (ILs) afford high cellulose solubility and recyclability, while chemical reactors enable complete cellulose dissolution and homogeneous transesterification. However, prolonged reaction times and potential oxidation issues necessitate further optimization. Conversely, reactive extrusion allows shorter reaction times, reduced solvent usage, and scalability. The current study aims to investigate how the type of cellulose (microcrystalline and fibrous) and its degree of polymerization (DP) affect the transesterification process and properties of CEs produced by reactive extrusion, as opposed to traditional methods. It was obtained that it is possible to produce cellulose laurates (CLs) with a degree of substitution (DS) of up to 2.5 via reactive extrusion. Examination of CLs obtained from the reactor (R-CLs) and reactive extrusion (REX-CLs) reveals structural properties diverging, with REX-CLs maintaining residual crystallinity despite esterification. Additionally, reactive extrusion produces CLs with lower molar mass due to a reduced DS, and in the case of fibrous celluloses, shear-induced degradation may occur. Cellulose DP emerges as pivotal for attaining desired thermal stability, with higher DP compounds displaying enhanced resistance to thermal degradation. Furthermore, reactive extrusion enhances the thermal stability of CLs more than traditional methods. However, comparative rheological analysis reveals that REX-CLs exhibit higher complex viscosity and G-moduli values than R-CLs. This phenomenon suggests that the structural arrangement of REX-CLs promotes intermolecular interactions, contributing to increased viscosity and stiffness. Reactive extrusion in an IL environment shows promise for scaled-up production of CEs with tailored properties.
