Abstract

A new catalytic oxidation using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO) and NaClO is applied to hardwood cellulose in water at 60 °C and pH 6.8 with NaClO(2) used as a primary oxidant. The oxidized celluloses with carboxylate content of approximately 0.8 mmol/g were convertible to highly crystalline and individual fibrils 5 nm in width and at least 2 μm in length by disintegration in water. The oxidized celluloses had no aldehyde groups, and high degrees of polymerization of more than 900. Solid-state (13)C NMR and X-ray analyses revealed that the C6 carboxylate groups formed are selectively present on the crystalline fibril surfaces at high densities. Films prepared from the dispersions were transparent and flexible, and exhibited a high tensile strength of 312 MPa even at a low density of 1.47 g/cm(3).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
