Abstract

An efficient and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of cellulose carbamate from a mixture of cellulose pulp or the activated cellulose pulp and urea was presented in this paper. Cellulose carbamate with a nitrogen content of 1.21 % and 3.29 % were successfully synthesized via esterification reaction in the high-boiling aprotic and polar N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvents (hereinafter NMP). The structures of cellulose carbamate were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Kjeldahl analysis, thermo-gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and 13C-solid-state NMR. The results showed that some functional groups of the alkali cellulose were substituted by amino in the high-boiling aprotic and polar solvents, then the cellulose carbamate was prepared with the reduced crystallinity and thermal decomposition temperature. In addition, the product was prepared with uniform substitution and distribution of carbamate group in the cellulose chain, which guaranteed its good solubility in aqueous alkali as well as its spinnability to produce fiber.
