Solubility cellulose

P-cellulose Cellulose soluble in 17.5% basic solution but not soluble in 8% caustic solution. Boeseken-Haworth projections Planar hexagonal rings used for simplicity instead of staggered chain forms. 

The other carbohydrates in cane juice are the soluble polysaccharides vaguely classified under the terms "hemi-celluloses, soluble gums and pectins. It is possible that some of these polysaccharides may enter the juice during the milling of the cane as the plant cell structure is destroyed. A gummy product has been isolated from cane fiber by alkali extraction followed by alcohol precipitation. Acid hydrolysis of this substance yielded crystalline D-xylose and L-arabinose.10 Such gums in Trinidad cane juices were isolated by alcohol precipitation at suitable hydrogen ion concentration and assayed for pentose content by the Tollens 2-fural-dehyde assay the results showed an apparent pentosan content of 0.04-0.07%u of the Brix solids.

Cellulose is a polymer that meets these requirements as an adhesive. However, due to its semicrystalline structure, highly hydrogen-bonded cellulose cannot be dissolved easily in conventional solvents, and it cannot be melted before it burns. This is because the attractive forces and stability of crystal structures are greater than those that result from interaction between polymer and solvent. Hence, cellulose itself is not suitable for use as an adhesive. The same can be said of regenerated cellulose. In order to make cellulose soluble or meltable, the hydrogen bonds must be broken (i.e., cellulose molecules must be more flexible and possess high entropy, so that they can be separated easily). 

A broader exploitation of cellulose solubility in ionic liquids lies in modification of cellulose into more useful forms. Cellulose acetate is currently the most useful derivative of cellulose, with uses in photographic film, as a synthetic fibre and as a component of adhesives. Acetylation of cellulose has been carried out effectively in l-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Amim][Cl], [C4mim CI], [C2mim][Cl], l-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride [C4dmim][Cl] and l-allyl-2,3-dimethyl-imidazolium bromide [Admim][Br] [136, 159-162], The first report of cellulose acetylation in an ionic liquid involved a one-step reaction in [Amim][Cl] without catalyst, yielding cellulose acetate with a controllable degree of substitution [136], Yields of cellulose acetate of up to 86% have been obtained via reaction in [C4mim] [Cl] at 80 °C for 2 h [160],... 

As biopolymers, cellulosics soluble in organic solvents are essentially used as semipermeable membranes (e.g. reverse osmosis separation), and for drug delivery in coating materials for reservoir or osmotic systems and excipients for matrix systems (e.g. films, compressed tablets). Recent advances in the latter fields will be reviewed.

Two general methods have been used to overcome the lack of cellulose solubility (1) formation of cellulose derivatives that exhibit solubility and (2) dissolution of cellulose using cellulose solvents. Both methods have been used to solubilize cellulose for SEC analysis and are discussed in this chapter. 

Regenerated cellulose, cellulose acetate, acrylic and some other fibres are spun from solution, either by dry spinning, with evaporation of solvent, or by wet spinning into a coagulation bath. In viscose rayon, the solute is sodium cellulose xanthate, which is a chemical derivative of cellulose soluble in caustic soda, so that a chemical reaction is involved in fibre formation.

Methyl cellulose is a derivative of cellulose soluble in water and widely used as a binder or thickener in pharmaceutical products, food products, in the field of ceramics, etc. Formation of the liquid crystal phase is dependent on molecular weight, concentration and temperature, as evidenced in different experimental studies employing differential scanning calorimetry, polarized light microscopy, optical rotatory dispersion [121]. This cellulose derivative has two stages of thermoreversible gelation in aqueous solution, as temperature rises, if concentration exceeds a certain critical value [117, 122]. Several studies [123] have revealed a crystal liquid phase in dilute solutions as well.

Semisynthetic derivatives of cellulose soluble in water are ethers of cellulose, both nonionic and ionic, with appropriate degrees of substitution. The following alkyl-, hydroxyalkyl- and hydroxyalkylalkyl celluloses will be examined in this chapter ... 

The developed paracrystalline layers contribute also to dissolution of cellulose samples. Dissolution experiments with samples of pure cellulose showed that increasing of p-value leads to enhance of cellulose solubility in the solvents (loelovich et al., 2010).
