Carboxymethyl Cellulose Amides and Their Properties

Preparation of amidated derivatives of carboxymethylcellulose

“…Polyglucuronic acid was modified (oxidized cellulose III) by a reaction with n-butylamine, n-octylamine and 2-methoxy-ethylamine in aqueous media and in the presence of carbodiimide [14]. Another research included preparation of N-decylamide of carboxymethylcellulose [1]. Heterogeneous modification of cellulose nanocrystals has been achieved by using esterification and amidification to attach long aliphatic chains.…”

“…Among such polymers, cellulose derivatives are widely used in manufacture of detergents, oil production (drilling muds), and textile, paint-and-varnish, food, cosmetic and fragrance industries [1]. There is a number of water-soluble ethers and esters of cellulose, and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is interesting due to the presence of carboxylic groups.…”

“…Application fields of CMC can be extended by additional chemical modification. Two major approaches could be used for this purpose [1]: (i) introduction of new functional groups at the free hydroxyls or (ii) selective modification of the CM substituents. Both these approaches may lead to obtaining of new perspective materials.…”

Homogenous carboxymethylation of cellulose in the NaOH/urea aqueous solution

“…There is growing interest in associated polymer systems based on environmentally friendly biocompatible natural polymers [1,2]. Among derivatives of cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) represents the most important ionic cellulose ether, widely used in many areas of industry and domestic life as a thickening and stabilizing agent [3].…”

Synthesis of amide-functionalized cellulose esters by olefin cross-metathesis

“…Amidation of carboxylic acid containing polysaccharides or their derivatives (e.g. carboxymethyl cellulose) with amines gives substituted amides; this method can be challenging since polysaccharide hydroxyl groups may also be reactive towards an activated carboxyl group (Benkaddour, Journoux-Lapp, Jradi, Robert, & Daneault, 2014;Zabivalova, Bochek, Kalyuzhnaya, Vlasova, & Volchek, 2003).…”
