Research abstract

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING NEW THERMOSETTING PLASTICS BASED UPON CELLULOSE FROM WOOD. THIS PHASE I EFFORT WILL EXPLORE CROSSLINKING AGENTS SUCH AS DIEPOXIDES AND DIISOCYANATES ANDDETERMINE THEIR RELATIVE ABILITY TO SWELL AND CROSSLINK BOTHTHE AMORPHOUS AND CRYSTALLINE PORTIONS OF CELLULOSE. THE EXPOXIDES AND ISOCYANTATES TO BE INVESTIGATED WILL COVER A RANGE OF POLARITY AND HYDROGEN-BONDING IN ORDER TO ESTABLISHTHE OPTIMUM FOR SWELLING AND CROSSLINKING. PRE-TREATMENTS TO FACILITATE SWELLING OF THE CELLULOSE AND CATALYSTS FOR RAPID CURE WILL ALSO BE DETERMINED. THE EXTENT OF REACTION WILL BE MONITORED ANALYTICALLY.
