Oxidative modification of cellulose
Abstract
Oxidative modification of cellulose The aim of the planned work is to achieve Lean and cost-efficient and green chemical routes to improve the properties of kraft pulp for thermoplastic materials. The cellulose chain is intrinsically rigid, which is one of the causes of its high Tg and Tm. The offered research targets to increase the mobility of the cellulose chain through oxidation chain cleavage methods, that decrease H-bonds in which the anhydroglucose units are involved and induce a major release of molecular motions within and between the chains.
