Studies of kinetics and electrical properties of cellulose fiber by cynoethylation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The aim of the research is to study the chenical modification of different samples like Brown wood pulp, White wood pulp, Bagasse pulp, with respect to Cynoethylation in presence of Acrylonitrile solution. The improvement of the properties such as Physical strength, Electrical Properties like Electrical resistance, Heat resistance, Insulation, and changes in paper characteristics with chemical modification have been investigated, and represented as bar charts. Kinetic study process that acrylonitrile was the limiting reactant for the product Cynoethylcellulose. The first order kinetics expression based on calculation of fractional conversion, cynoethylation as a function of time and has been presented by graph. The plot was linear and passing through the origin confirming that first order Kinetics Model for synthesis of Cynoethylation. The first Order Cynoethylation rate constant for Brown wood pulp and White wood pulp are 0.1995 and 0.3659 respectively. The chemical structure and composition of the product obtained by reaction of cellulose with acrylonitrile is supported by different characteristics IR absorption band and spectroscopic characterization of cynoethylated sample are investigated and presented by table and graph.
