Cellulose Resins from

The most commonly used reinforcement for high pressure decorative and industrial laminates is paper (qv). The strong substrate layers, or filler, are kraft paper. Kraft is a brown paper made from a sulfate pulp process (8). It consists of both short cellulose fibers from hardwoods and long fibers from conifers. The long fibers impart most of the wet strength required for resin saturation processes. 

The heat exchanger fins from aluminum or its alloy are coated with aqueous solution containing a water-soluble cellulose resin or polyvinyl alcohol and a surfactant to form a hydrophilic film. Phosphoric acid ester was used as anionic surfactant (0.05-4.5%) in aqueous solution to form a hydrophilic film showing contact angle with water of 5-32° [288]. 

It has been realized for many years that excessive acidity is the single most serious cause of degradative effects on paper (I, 2, 5, 6). Although acids may be present from many sources (carboxyl groups in cellulose resulting from oxidation and the presence of acidic hemicellu-loses, bleach residues, some wet-strength resins, etc.), the most important... 

Emulsion Adhesives. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly (vinyl acetate)—polytyinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly (vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as well as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a colloid protection system. The protective colloids are similar to those used paint (qv) to stabilize latex. For poly (vinyl acetate), the protective colloids are isolated from natural gums and cellulosic resins (carboxymethylcellulose or hydroxyethylcellulose). The hydrolized polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly (vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in the polymerization. Any material which is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers (qv), tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, solvents (added to coalesce the emulsion particles), fillers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended application. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly (vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter s glue" are available under a number of different trade names. Applications are found mostly in the area of adhesion to paper and wood (see VlNYL POLYMERS).

Epichlorohydrin or chloromethyloxirane is manufactured from allyl chloride, and, in 2006, had a merchant price of US 1.66 kg [4]. It is used as a building block in the manufacture of plastics, epoxy resins, phenoxy resins, and other polymers, and as a solvent for cellulose, resins, and paints, and has also found use as an insect fumigant. Epoxy resins (aryl glycidyl ethers) are manufactured successfully in large scale (1.2 x 10 metric tons in 2000) [26] and are widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications [27]. These are made by addition reactions of epichlorohydrins or by epoxidation of allyl ethers or esters (Table 1.1). Epichlorohydrin can be reacted with an alkali nitrate to produce glycidyl nitrate, an energetic binder used in explosive and propellant compositions. 

Evaluation of Figures. In general for the entire industry over the last 30 years, the best procedure is to use the cellulose figures from the Bureau of Census and the synthetic resin figures from the Tariff Commission rather than the census total industry figures. The tariff figures available each year have probably more complete coverage and have considerably more detail. 

Native and microcrystalline cellulose precoated plates are used in the life sciences for the separation of polar compounds (e.g. carbohydrates, carboxylic acids, amino acids, nucleic acid derivatives, phosphates, etc) [85]. These layers are unsuitable for the separation of compounds of low water solubility unless first modified, for example, by acetylation. Several chemically bonded layers have been described for the separation of enantiomers (section 10.5.3). Polyamide and polymeric ion-exchange resins are available in a low performance grade only for the preparation of laboratory-made layers [82]. Polyamide layers are useful for the reversed-phase separation and qualitative analysis of phenols, amino acid derivatives, heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, and carboxylic and sulfonic acids. Ion-exchange layers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine), functionalized poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) and diethylaminoethyl cellulose resins and powders and are used primarily for the separation of inorganic ions and biopolymers. 

Proteins of this class which have received the most attention were isolated from four bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescens, Ps. denitri-ficans, and Bordetella pertussis, although Sutherland (5) has isolated azurin from several other strains of Pseudomonas, Bordetella, and Alcaligenes. The near identity of azurins isolated from these different sources, has been generally assumed, and with one possible exception, that from Ps. denitrificans which does not bind to carboxy-methyl cellulose resin at the same pH as the other proteins (5), this seems to be the case. Ambler and Brown [6), who have elucidated the amino acid sequence of Ps. fluorescens azurin state that B. bronchiseptica, A. denitrificans and faecalis, Ps. denitrificans and fluorescens yield azurins having homologous amino acid sequences. 

The first plastic made was cellulose nitrate, which is a derivative of cellulose, obtained from wood pulp. The first truly synthetic polymer material was phenolic resin, which was synthesized from phenol and formaldehyde derived from coal. Today, the source of organic chemicals for the production of polymers has shifted from these traditional sources to petroleum and natural gas. Petroleum as a raw material for organic chemicals (petrochemicals) is relatively cheap, readily available in large tonnages, and more easily processed than the other main source of organic chemicals — coal. 

Cellulose nanofibers from different sources have showed remarkable characteristics as reinforcement material for optically transparent composites [160, 161], Iwamoto et al. [160] prepared optically transparent composites of transparent acrylic resin reinforced with cellulose nanofibers extracted from wood pulp fibers by fibrillation process. They showed that cellulose nanofiber-reinforced composites are able to retain the transparency of the matrix resin even at high fiber content (up to70 % wt). The aggregation of cellulose nanofibers also contributes to a significant improvement in the thermal expansion properties of plastics. 

Levulinic acid is known to react with aldehydes at carbon atoms adjacent to both the acid (a) and keto (P and 8) groups to form a mixture of the a-, P-, and 8- alkylidene or arylidene derivatives 11,12), With excess formaldehyde, levulinic acid is substituted with five or six hydroxymethyl (methylol) groups, and cyclization to a lactone occurred 18), These condensation reactions could be utilized to produce inexpensive resins from the crude ethyl levulinate obtained from waste particle board without distillation. Another reason for studying the reactions of the ester with aldehydes is to determine the potential for similar reactions occurring during the cellulose... 

Cellulosics, resins n. Resins and polymers derived from cellulose [CeHioOsJn. 

Hydroabietyl alcohol Obtained by hydrogenation of Abietic acid (a triple-ring, aromatic acid extracted from rosin) and used as a plasticizer for PVC and some cellulosic resins. 

Attempts were made to isolate the TBG. A preliminary purification from serum by ion-exchange chromatographic analysis on a Dowex-I column equilibrated with acetate buffer (pH 4.5) was followed by repeated ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatographic analysis on dimethylaminoethyl-cellulose resin, and electrophoresis on cellulose columns. These attempts finally yielded a preparation homogeneous on electrophoresis and in the ultracentrifuge. The amino acid composition and the secondary structure of TBG is not known, and it is still debated whether it is a lipo-or glycoprotein. 

Two main groups of materials are used to prepare ion exchange resins polystyrene, and cellulose. Resins made from both of these materials differ in their flow properties, ion accessibility, and chemical and mechanical stability. Selection of one or the other type of resin is done on the basis of compounds being separated. 

Plants are very attractive and potential sources of cellulose primarily because they are abundant and relatively cheap to harvest. Cellulose can be extracted from lignocellulosic fibers, which are available aU over the world. A wide variety of plant materials like cotton, ramie, sisal, flax, wheat straw, tubers, sugar beet, soya bean, etc., are known for cellulose microfibril production. Wood is another main important source of extracting cellulose fibrils, where cellulose microfibrils were reinforced by intracellular amorphous materials made of hemicelluloses, lignin, resin, etc. Extraction of pure cellulose microfibrils from these lignocelluloseic materials involves chemical treatments such as alkali extraction and bleaching. 

Liver N-acetyltransferase can be partially purified by a procedure which includes ultracentrifugation (100,000 g), ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-lOO and anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose resin (Weber and Cohen, 1967 Weber, 1971b). The total activity recovered in this procedure is about 15% of the activity in the 100,000 g supernatant fraction. A 300- to 500-fold purification from this fraction is achieved. Liver N-acetyltransferase from man, monkey (cynomolgous), rabbit, and rat has been purified according to this procedure. The enzyme from monkey (rhesus) liver has also been purified approximately 250-fold by a somewhat different procedure (Goedde et al., 1967).
