Abstract

Cellulose fibers were chemically modified on surface by acrylamide polymerization and glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The chemical and morphological structures of modified cellulose fibers were investigated with X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectra, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline conformations of the cellulose fibers were slightly changed in polymerization and crosslinking process. The wet strength of modified cellulose fibers was improved. Appreciable difference between the surfaces of native and modified cellulose fibers was observed from SEM images.
