Cellulose Studies

Abstract: THE INFRARED absorption spectrum of methyl cellulose has not been reported in the literature. A technique for drying and mounting thin films so that their spectra can be obtained in the dry state is described herein, and the spectra of methyl cellulose, cellulose, and starch are presented.The films were made by allowing a solution of the material to evaporate on a clean mercury surface.

“…Several authors, without adequate justification, have attributed some of the bands in the 1300-1400 cm-1 region to alcoholic c-o [153], or to CH bonds [137,143,149]. The latter attribution can only be partially, if at all, correct, because the total decrease in the number of CH groups on oxidation of cellulose by nitrogen oxides is small, whereas the change in intensity of bands in this region is very considerable.…”

“…On this basis he concluded that dissolution of the cellulose esters was molecular in nature. The spectrum of trimethylcellulose was investigated by Stelle and Pacsu [153]. Brown, Holiday, and Trotter [154] studied the infrared spectra of cyanoethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, acetylcellulose, acetobutyrylcellulose, etc., in the regions of the main frequencies of OH and CH groups.…”

“…In wood, this range is dominated by the 1 st overtone of o-H stretching vibrations arising mainly from carbohydrates and has always been of interest to researchers. In the late 1930s, rodebush and Buswell 92 and Buswell et al 93 were among the first to realise that the breadth of absorption bands associated with o-H or n-H bond-stretching vibrations was associated with a hydrogen-bonding interaction between an acidic group and another basic atom. a simple operational definition of the hydrogen bond is that it exists when a hydrogen atom is bonded to two or more atoms, thus weakening the o-H bond.…”

“…the stronger the bonds (and, therefore, the smaller the distance), the weaker the o-H bond and the lower the wavenumber (the higher the wavelength) at which this band is found. Buswell et al 93 studied the effect of hydrogen bonding upon the infrared absorption of the hydroxyl group. although early investigations of cellulose and its crystal and molecular structure 94-96 along with its crystalline transformations between the cellulose polymorphs were primarily investigated in the mid-Ir, in 1940, ellis and Bath 97 used nIr for their study of hydrogen bridging in cellulose.…”
