Abstract: | Bacterial cellulose (BC) was dissolved in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) to prepare regenerated BC films (RBC) with phase inversion. The solubility of BC, supermolecule on structure, morphology, thermal and physical properties of the films were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), solid-state cross polarization/magic angle spinning 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS 13C NMR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The investigation suggested BC was dissolved completely in NMMO. From the C6 signal shifts to the amorphous area, the crystallinity of materials decreased from 79.20% to 38.17%, and the transformation from cellulose I to II occurred. It was also found that the banded structure of the native materials was replaced by homogeneous and densified sections, so RBC films had better mechanical and barrier properties, and do thermal stability was similar to that of the native BC. |
