- 摘要:
- Regenerated cellulose film was successfully prepared from natural luffa, a new cellulose raw material. A pretreatment of natural luffa was carried out by an alkali and hydrogen peroxide mixed solution. The dissolution process of the pretreated luffa in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]C1) was observed by polarized optical microscope. The structures and properties of the luffa films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA), and porosity measurements. The results showed that the luffa fibers were transformed to fibrils after the pretreatment. [BMIM]Cl was a good non-derivatizing solvent for the luffa cellulose. The solution conditions were 80°C and 10 h for a 15% solution. After being regenerated, as films, from the luffa/[BMIM]Cl solution, the crystalline structure of the luffa film was transformed completely from cellulose I to cellulose II. The film showed the strong characteristic functional groups of cellulose in FTIR results. The surface of the film was smooth with a compact structure. The porosity of the film was 66.2% and the average pore size was 17.8 nm. It was thermally stabile up to 280°C.
