Preparation of the new derivatives of cellulose and oligomeric species of cellulose containing magneson II chromophore

Abstract

Fully acetylated cellulose triacetate (CTA) was hydrolyzed in the presence of hydronium ions in a solution of acetic acid and concentrated sulfuric acid to give a hydroxyl-terminated cellulose triacetate oligomers (HCTA). By using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis, the molecular weight of the isolated oligomeric product was calculated to be 3748 Da. HCTA was converted to their new derivatives having 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol (magneson II) as a chromophore. Then 4 0 -bromobutoxy-4-(4-nitrophenylazo) naphthalene was synthesized from the reaction of 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol with 1,4-dibromobutane. The synthesized alkylated chromophore was reacted with oligomeric cellulose and cellulose itself in the solution of dimethyl sulfoxide to produce cellulose ethers containing the desired chromophore. In the last step, the isolated compounds were used for the preparation of new polymers and oligomers, which contain both of dodecane and butoxy-4-(4-nitrophenylazo)naphthalene as the alkyl side chains in their backbone.

Hydrogel-Based Sensor Networks: Compositions, Properties, and Applications—A Review

“…Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable materials that has been extensively used in paper, packaging, food, textile, and biomedical industries. It is hydrophilic, but insoluble in water and most common solvents, because of strong hydrogen bonds between the cellulose molecular chains. − Recently, cellulose has been drawing attention in the form of nanocellulose, such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) for mechanical reinforcement of hydrogels, because of their very high aspect ratios, as well as for their high moisture absorptivity, wettability, and renewability . Both CNF and CNC are composed of β (1–4) linked d -glucose units with semicrystalline structures and exhibit impressive mechanical properties and tunable surface chemistry and reactivity through chemical modifications. , The enhancement of mechanical strength has great potential for cellulose-based strain sensors. − The incorporation of CNF with PVA in hydrogel sensor has been reported for the synthesis of transparent, stretchable, and rapid self-healing hydrogel sensors .…”

Nanoparticles Based on Modified Polysaccharides

“…Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide available worldwide and exhibits attractive structure and single properties, which are quite attractive for both academic and industrial researchers. Recently, cellulose based polymers have been widely investigated for its positive characteristics such as safety, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and protein rejecting ability, and so on (Namazi and Jafarirad, 2008). However, there have been few reports on the utilization of self-assembled micelles based on amphiphilic cellulose derivatives as delivery carriers for poorly watersoluble pharmaceutical active ingredients (Klemm et al, 2005;Cheng et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2008).…”
