This study was carried out in order to provide useful data for planning fabrics of summer eco-friendly fashion products. The fabrics used in this study were four cellulose fibers: cotton, cotton/mulberry blended, flax, and flax/lyocell blended. Dyeing with natural indigo was carried out under three different reducing conditions (i.e., general, eclectic, and eco-friendly) that have different reducing agent and pH levels, and hydrosulfite and glucose were used as a reducing agent. The dye uptake (K/S value) of fabrics dyed with natural indigo by a reducing condition was the highest at 660nm. Regardless of the fabrics, dye uptake was the highest under the general reducing condition and the lowest under the eco-friendly reducing condition. Under different reducing conditions, the dye uptake of natural indigo fabrics with the maximum absorption wavelength indicated a difference. The colorfastness of cellulose fabrics that were dyed with natural indigo had a rate of 4 to 5 except for rubbing fastness, which indicated good colorfastness. Additionally, natural indigo-dyed cotton and flax fabrics had good antibiosis. When the color characteristics of fabrics dyed with natural indigo were measured, all of the three reducing conditions created purple blue (PB) colors, and the color characteristics of dyed fabrics by reducing condition and fabric showed significant differences.

In this study, cellulose nanoplates (CNPs) were fabricated using cellulose nanocrystals obtained from commercial microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Their pyrolysis behavior and the characteristics of the product carbonaceous materials were investigated. CNPs showed a relatively high char yield when compared with MCC due to sulfate functional groups introduced during the manufacturing process. In addition, pyrolyzed CNPs (CCNPs) showed more effective chemical activation behavior compared with MCC-induced carbonaceous materials. The activated CCNPs exhibited a microporous carbon structure with a high surface area of 1310.6 m2/g and numerous oxygen heteroatoms. The results of this study show the effects of morphology and the surface properties of cellulose-based nanomaterials on pyrolysis and the activation process.

The successful developments would allow the safe and economical advancement in the fabrication of AMC blend membranes for ultrafiltration applications.

The purpose of this research is to revive the colors of combination dyeing and mixed dyeing with natural dyestuffs. The fabrics used were cotton and rayon. The natural dyestuffs used in this research were indigo, Phellodendron amurense, and Caesalpinia sappan. The effects of combination dyeing were as follows. First, all samples showed deeper colors. Second, according to the results of the surface K/S measurement, while the surface K/S of cotton was over 15, that of rayon was over 17. Third, the results of the light fastness measurement showed the superiority (by over grade 4) of all the samples, except in the case of rayon fiber sample no. 6 (which had been pre-dyed with indigo five times before being dyed with P. amurense once and then being dyed with C. sappan once). In the color fastness to washing measurement, all fibers showed superiority (by over grade 3~4). In addition, the color fastness to dry cleaning of all fibers was satisfactory or excellent (by over grade 3). Fourth, according to the results of the tensile strength measurement, it tended to decrease in the case of cotton and increase in the case of rayon. Fifth, the results of the density measurement showed that the density of cotton decreased by about 15~20% in the case of warp and 10% in the case of weft for all samples. The density of rayon decreased 20% in the case of warp for all samples and increased 30% in the case of weft for all samples.

Cellulose fibers were stabilized by treatment with an electron-beam (E-beam). The properties of the stabilized fibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The E-beam-stabilized cellulose fibers were carbonized in N2 gas at 800°C for 1 h, and their carbonization yields were measured. The structure of the cellulose fibers was determined to have changed to hemicellulose and cross-linked cellulose as a result of the E-beam stabilization. The hemicellulose decreased the initial decomposition temperature, and the cross-linked bonds increased the carbonization yield of the cellulose fibers. Increasing the absorbed E-beam dose to 1500 kGy increased the carbonization yield of the cellulose-based carbon fiber by 27.5% upon exposure compared to untreated cellulose fibers.

Bacterial Cellulose (BC) produced from Acetobacter sp. is used in a wide variety of applications including paper, textile, food, cosmetic, and medicine due to its high mechanical strength, purity, and water holding capacity. In Southeast Asia, coconut water is commonly used as a carbon source for producing BC called “nata de coco”. However, there have been very few attempts to produce BC from juices of other fruit sources, such as pear, apple, and grape, which are major fruits produced in East Asia including South Korea. Since those fruits have relatively low pH because of a large quantity of organic acids, the control of pH is necessary to achieve the maximum BC production yield. The objective of this study was to investigate the BC fermentation characteristics of various fruit juices as media and to determine optimum conditions for the BC production. Sodium acetate was added to each fruit juice medium and the pH was adjusted to pH 5 with acetic acid. Acetobacter xylinus KCCM 41431 was inoculated and BC fermentation was performed for 10 days. The total sugar levels of pear, apple, and grape were 102.31, 155.10, 131.70 g/l and the pHs were 4.72, 4.04, and 3.08, respectively. In buffered fruit juice media, BC production yields were 1.98, 1.44 and 2.55 fold higher than those of pure fruit juice, probably due to the reduction of acid stress. However, the BC production was inhibited at high sodium acetate concentration (>150mM).

Cellulose acetate (CA) has been used for microfiltration/ultrafiltration applications because of its good solubility in common solvents. However, it is sensitive to chemical and physical degradation. Therefore, in this study, cellulose acetate was crosslinked with terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution to complement these weakness. Cross-linking was confirmed by increasing in dope solution viscosity and FT-IR. To indicate the chemical resistance, weight loss was observed after the cross-linked CA membranes were immersed in ethanol, hexane, acetone and DMAc solvent for 24h. The physical properties were evaluated by the tensile strength. In the result of experience, effect of the degree of cross-linking by increasing of the concentration of TPC improved the chemical and physical properties of CA.

The present work reports a systematic study of using carboxymethylated cellulose (CMC) as water-bornebinder to produce Li4Ti5O12-based anodes for manufacture of high rate performance lithium ion batteries. When theLTO-to-CB-to-CMC mass ratio is carefully optimized to be 8:1:0.57, the special capacity of the resulting electrodes is144 mAh·g−1 at 10 C and their capacity retention was 97.7% after 1000 cycles at 1C and 98.5% after 500 cycles at5C, respectively. This rate performance is comparable or even better than that of the electrolytes produced using con-ventional, organic, polyvinylidene fluoride binder.

This study fabricated low thermal conductive polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers containing cellulose particles while maintaining their mechanical properties. The high thermal conductivity of carbon fibers limits their application as a high temperature insulator in various systems such as an insulator for propulsion parts in aerospace or missile systems. By controlling process parameters such as the heat treatment temperature of the cellulose particles and the amount of cellulose added, the thermal and mechanical properties of the PANbased carbon fibers were investigated. The results show that it is possible to manufacture composite carbon fibers with low thermal conductivity. That is, thermal conductivities were reduced by the cellulose particles in the PAN based carbon fibers while at the same time, the tensile strength loss was minimized, and the tensile modulus increased.

Cellulose is the most useful feedstock in the world that could be used to prepare new kinds of materials, and cellulose derivatives have potential application as functional polymers. Due to the present of hydroxyl groups, cellulose is considered to be an excellent material for surface modification. Among the chemical modification method, Graft copolymerization is a well-established and commonly used technique for modification of polymer surface. In this study, sulfonated GMA-g-cellulose ion exchange fibers were synthesized by gamma-ray mutual radiation. The conversion of epoxy groups into the functional groups was investigated. Factors affecting on grafting process such as radiation dose, monomer concentration, added salt and cross-linking agent were studied.

HPMC의 분자량 및 물 양이 증가할수록 국물의 탁도가 감소하여 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 향상되었고, 셀룰로오스 에테르 첨가량, 치환체 종류, 치환도에 따라 탁도 값이 변화하여, 이들 인자 모두가 쌀면의 형태안정성에 영향을 준다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이들 인자를 효과적으로 조절할 경우, 밀면을 조리한 국물의 탁도보다 낮은 탁도값이 얻어져 셀룰로오스 에테르의 첨가에 따라 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 유변물성 측정기를 이용한 쌀면의 압축특성 측정은 조리시간에 따른 쌀면의 호화정도 및 변화하는 조직감을 살펴보는 데 효과적이였으며, 물 양 및 셀룰로오스 에테르의 분자량이 다른 인자들에 비하여 조리시간 별 쌀면의 호화특성 및 조직감에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

HPMC의 분자량이 증가하거나, 물 양이 감소할수록 쌀 반죽의 압축강도 및 접착강도가 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 이들 인자 외에도, 셀룰로오스 에테르의 치환체 및 치환도도 쌀 반죽의 압축강도 및 접착 강도를 결정하는 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다.

Microbial fermented cellulose gel, citrus gel(CG), was successfully fabricated to porousfoam by radiation treatment and freeze drying. The chemically induced radiation was used to createhighly porous foam and further freeze drying of the CG produced tough foams with interconnectedopen pores for use in tissue engineering. The microstructure of the CG foam was controlled byvarying the irradiation dose and quenching temperature with pore size ranging from several micronsto a few hundred microns. Tensile strength and Gurley value of the CG foam were influenced byirradiation dose. These radiation induced CG foams are promising scaffolds for tissue engineering.

As a renewable nanomaterial, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) isolated from wood grants excellent mechanical properties in developing high performance nanocomposites. This study was undertaken to compare the reinforcing efficiency of two different CNCs, i.e., cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HW-BKP) as reinforcing agent in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based nanocomposite. The CNWs were isolated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis while the CNFs were isolated by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. Based on measurements using transmission electron microscopy, the individual CNWs were about 6.96±0.87 nm wide and 178±55 nm long, while CNFs were 7.07±0.99 nm wide. The incorporation of CNWs and CNFs into the PVA matrix at 5% and 1% levels, respectively, resulted in the maximum tensile strength, indicating different efficiencies of these CNCs in the nanocomposites. Therefore, these results suggest a relationship between the reinforcing potential of CNCs and their physical characteristics, such as their morphology, dimensions, and aspect ratio.

본 연구의 목적은 지지체의 친수화가 압력지연삼투(Pressure retarded osmosis, PRO)막의 투과특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 소수성 지지체인 폴리에스테르를 친수성 고분자인 셀룰로오스 용액을 사용하여 친수화도를 조절하였다. 지지체의 친수화 특성만을 파악하기 위해서 지지층 없이 동일한 활성층을 사용하여 PRO 막 투과 특성을 비교하였다. 사용된 활성층은 1,4-dioxane과 cellulose tri-acetate (CTA, 13 wt%)를 사용하여 제조하였으며, 5 kgf/cm2 압력 하에서 행한 PRO 성능 평가의 경우 투과도가 친수화된 지지체를 사용한 경우와 친수화되지 않은 경우에 각각 1.2 L/m2hr와 0.8 L/m2hr로 친수화된 지지체를 사용할 경우 약 50% 투과량이 증가되는 특성을 보였다. 그러나 셀룰로오스 농도 변화에 따른 지지체의 친수화도 증가가 투과량 변화를 가져오지는 않았다. 이는 지지체를 친수화하기 위해 사용된 셀룰로오스의 농도가 증가함에 따라 지지체의 기공이 막히는 현상에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 이러한 결과를 통해 정삼투공정에서 투과유량을 높이기 위해서는 지지체로서 친수성 소재를 사용하여 분리막을 제조함과 동시에 지지체 기공을 유지하는 것이 중요함을 확인하였다.

This study examined the effect of the molecular weight, substitution degree, and substitution type of cellulose ether on the mechanical properties of dried rice noodles. When increasing the molecular weight of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), the bending strength of the dried rice noodles also increased. However, the bending strength of the rice noodles with added HPMCs was still lower than that of the wheat noodles. Meanwhile, the bending elongation of the dried rice noodles was higher than that of the wheat noodles and was increased when decreasing the molecular weight of the HPMC. In conclusion, the bending strength and elongation of dried rice noodles is affected by the substitution degree and type of cellulose ether.

This work attempted to fabricate organic/inorganic nanocomposite by combining organic cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), isolated by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation of native cellulose with inorganic nanoclay. The morphology and dimension of CNFs, and tensile properties and thermal stability of CNF/clay nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), tensile test, and thermogravimetry (TG), respectively. TEM observation showed that CNFs were fibrillated structure with a diameter of about 4.86±1.341 nm. Tensile strength and modulus of the hybrid nanocomposite decreased as the clay content of the nanocomposite increased, indicating a poor dispersion of CNFs or inefficient stress transfer between the CNFs and clay. The elongation at break increased at 1% clay level and then continuously decreased as the clay content increased, suggesting increased brittleness. Analysis of TG and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curves of the nanocomposites identified two thermal degradation peak temperatures (Tp1 and Tp2), which suggested thermal decomposition of the nanocomposites to be a two steps-process. We think that Tp1 values from 219.6℃ to 235℃ resulted from the sodium carboxylate groups in the CNFs, and that Tp2 values from 267℃ to 273.5℃ were mainly responsible for the thermal decomposition of crystalline cellulose in the nanocomposite. An increase in the clay level of the CNF/clay nanocomposite predominately affected Tp2 values, which continuously increased as the clay content increased. These results indicate that the addition of clay improved thermal stability of the CNF/clay nanocomposite but at the expense of nanocomposite’s tensile properties.
