Synthesis and properties of biodegradable plastic films obtained by microwave-assisted cellulose acylation in homogeneous phase

4-(Dimethylamino)pyridinium trichlorido[4-(dimethylamino)pyridine-κN]cobaltate(II)

“…The N-heteroaromatic ligand 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP) finds use as a homogeneous catalyst in cellulose acylation in the synthesis of biodegradable plastics (Satgé et al, 2004). DMAP is also known to form transition metal complexes which exhibit luminescence properties (Araki et al, 2005).…”

“…For applications and properties of DMAP, see: Araki et al (2005); Satgé et al (2004). For Co-N and Co-Cl bond lengths and angles in related compounds, see: Akbarzadeh Torbati et al (2010); Baker et al (1988).…”

Microwave Synthesis, Extraction, Improvement and Degradation in Oil Chemistry

“…The yields of C 12 C 2 C 12 surfactants under 915 MHz microwave irradiation were about 1.7 times higher than those under 2.45 GHz dielectric heating under identical conditions. In contrast, when using an oil bath, the yields of C 12 C 2 C 12 surfactant decreased threefold when compared to the microwave-mediated reaction. Synthetic yield increased clearly by using a frequency of 915 MHz.…”

“…For example, methods describing the synthesis of fatty acid esters of natural product origin such as cellulose have been reported 11,12 , in which obtained product yields and degree of substitution DS values were improved through the microwave synthesis method. Tomanová and co-workers reported the synthesis of a biodegradable polymeric surfactant via the transesterification of the methyl esters in rapeseed oil and carboxymethyl cellulose CMC 13 .…”

Utilization of selected biorenewable resources: solubilization of lignocellulosics and conjugation of soybean oil

“…Fatty acid esters of cellulose lead to novel bioplastics and films (Song et al, 2002;Satge et al, 2004). Such esters also open new synthetic possibilities for introducing functional groups into cellulose providing pathways to cellulose esters and ethers and their derivatives, as well as biologically active molecules covalently bound to cellulose (Bojanic et al, 1998).…”
