Infrared spectroscopy cellulose acetate

The acetyl content of cellulose acetate may be calculated by difference from the hydroxyl content, which is usually determined by carbanilation of the ester hydroxy groups in pyridine solvent with phenyl isocyanate [103-71-9J, followed by measurement of uv absorption of the combined carbanilate. Methods for determining cellulose ester hydroxyl content by near-infrared spectroscopy (111) and acid content by nmr spectroscopy (112) and pyrolysis gas chromatography (113) have been reported. 

Proof of grafting was presented through comparison of the solubilities of their saponified vinyl acetate and cellulose grafts and of the physical mixtures of the corresponding homopolymers. While from a cupriethyl-enediamin solution of the physical mixture pure cellulose is precipitated on acidification, the precipitate from the graft solution always contains constant amounts of polyvinyl alcohol, as proven by infrared spectroscopy.

A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study was obtained by using Perkin-Elmer spectrometer 100, USA. Prior to this analysis, kenaf whiskers were mixed with KBr to prepare homogeneous suspensions and afterwards pressed into transparent pellets and analyzed in transmittance mode within the range of 4000-500 cm. In the case of thin nanocomposite film (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate [CAB] and kenaf whiskers) the analysis was done within the range of 4000-500 cm transmittance mode. 

Also, literature reports new biodegradable poly(ethylene oxide)/cellulose, poly(ethylene oxide)/cellulose acetate, poly(ethylene oxide)/carboxymethyl cellulose, and poly(ethylene oxide)/cellulose ether blends obtained by solution casting and investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, and infrared spectroscopy techniques [134]. These studies indicate... 

Cellulose acetate is an amorphous material with a specific gravity of 1.30. It burns very slowly with a yellow flame, drips, gives off an odor of vinegar, and has black smoke with soot. It is soluble in acetone, furfuryl alcohol, and acetic acid. Cellulose acetate is positively identified by infrared spectroscopy.
