Abstract

High-pressure carbon dioxide switchable solution with 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) and ethylene glycol (EG) was applied for a dissolution and modification of cellulose derived from a cassava pulp waste. The switchable solution of DBU and EG were formed by adding carbon dioxide under a pressure range of 0.1–10.0MPa and a temperature range of 298 and 333K. The cellulose was dissolved into the CO2 switchable system at a pressure of 0.1 and 5.8MPa and a temperature of 313K. The precipitates of bicarbonate salt of reaction between DBU and carbon dioxide were observed in the switchable solution at the higher pressures and lower temperatures. The cellulose was also modified in the switchable solution with the ionized DBU, EG and carbon dioxide as analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The modified cellulose was then utilized for the fabrication of the transparent film.
