Effects of thermal and chemical treatments on the structural stability of cellulose acetate nanofibers

Modification of electrospun, ultra-thin cellulose fibres by means of polycarboxylic acid–based cross-linking agents

“…20,21 Due to their structural characteristics, woven materials are stronger than non-wovens. The post-treatment by means of physical–mechanical methods 22,23 or chemical agents 24 -31 results in the formation of a cohesive fabric-like material. The incorporation of functional additives 32 -34 or the formation of non-woven composite materials 35,36 also enables the modification of the physical–mechanical properties.…”

Nano-web structures constructed with a cellulose acetate/lithium chloride/polyethylene oxide hybrid: Modeling, fabrication and characterization

“…If the surface tension is very high, it may counteract the electrical forces hence the reduction in surface tension of the polymer solutions is a desirable condition for electrospinning (Greish, Meetania, Al Matroushib, & Al Shamsic, 2010;Wongsasulak et al, 2010). The predicted model for surface tension (Y 2 ) was highly significant (P < 0.0001).…”

Time-resolved photoluminescence of 6-thienyl-lumazine fluorophores in cellulose acetate nanofibers for detection of mercury ions

“…This motivates us to specifically select 6-thienyllumazine (TLm in Scheme 1) as the chromophore to probe cellulose acetate nanofibers (NFs, Fig. 1) [9]. The spectrophysics of Lm in a series of solvents with varying dielectric constants and hydrogen bonding properties was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation.…”
