“…This biopolymer offers several advantages such as flexibility, biodegradability, good mechanical strength and low cost, which justifies its intense application in textile, paper and packaging industries 2,3 , as well as in the production of sensors 4,5 and reinforcement for composites 6,7 . However, the use of cellulose in these areas often becomes restricted due to the hydrophilic characteristic of this material, resulting from the presence of free hydroxyl groups in its molecule 8,9 .…”

Cellulose is a polymer widely available in nature, however its applications may be restrict due to its hydrophilic character. The creation of hierarchical structures on the surface is one of the required factors to obtain the hydrophobicity of this material. In order to compare the morphological and chemical effects caused by the action of different gases in the creation of nanostructures on the cellulose surface, samples were exposed to oxygen (O 2 ) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) plasma treatments. The changes in morphology after treatment prove that both the gases were able to create similar nanostructures in the material. The analysis of elemental composition and identification of functional groups on the sample surface showed that chemical modifications occurred differently for each treatment. Contact angle measurements revealed that samples treated by O 2 plasma remained hydrophilic, whereas low receptivity to polar (θ > 120º) and non-polar (θ > 100º) liquids was observed for samples exposed to SF 6 plasma.

Cellulose fibres were isolated from corn peel agricultural waste using NaOH extraction and converted to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by carboxymethylation using monochloroacetic acid (MCA) in alkaline conditions. A Box-Behnken statistical design was used to evaluate the parameters (soaking time with NaOH solution, soaking time with MCA solution, and reaction time with MCA) affecting the degree of substitution (DS) of CMC. Optimization was carried out by using the response surface method. The optimized conditions for CMC production with a maximal DS of 0.90 were soaking with NaOH for 118 min, followed by soaking with MCA for 6.5 h, and reaction with MCA at 60°C for 84 min. FTIR and XRD confirmed the successful carboxymethylation. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using corn peel agricultural waste as an alternative raw material for the production of CMC with high DS.

-This study investigates available resources that has not been used or is used with low added value, such as woody crops, forest residues and invasive species possibilities in case of cellulosic products. Main aspect is this study is market outlook, to see if the products can have positive market sales if produced. Resource have been selected by availability and current usage and properties they contain. Products have been chosen the most basic, to see is there possibility to enter an existing cellulose product markets. GE/McKinsey matrix have been used for clear visual decision making. The results show that only two out of seven products has a potential in international market.
