Abstract:In this study, AlCl3/ZnCl2/H2O was used as cellulose solvent, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) was introduced as crosslinking agent, and bleached eucalyptus dissolving pulp was dissolved and crosslinked at room temperature to prepare the cellulose film. The film had the advantages of high strength, high wet stability, high transparency and biodegradability. Moreover, it was expected to replace petroleum-based plastics in the field of packaging and food preservation. The stress-strain energies of the obtained cellulose films reached 140.76 MPa and 19.69%, respectively. Even in the wet environment, the wet stress and strain could reach 34.72 MPa and 67.33%. After being soaked in water for 7 days, it could still maintain a stable shape, and the swelling rate was only 94%, showing excellent water resistance and being able to hold liquids such as water, milk and soy sauce for 24 hours. It also showed lower water vapor permeability (615.0 g/m2 day) and oxygen permeability (4.15 ? 10-3/cm3 m2 day pa). This transparent film features high moisture stability and excellent wet strength, and is expected to be applied in the fields of packaging and food preservation. |
