Abstract:

Influence of degree of polymerization (DP) on the microstructure, crystallinity and strength properties of cellulose membrane were investigated in this paper; especially put forward a method of mixing different DP cellulose at different proportion to discuss more accurately effect of DP. The results show that the membrane at the proportion of 3:1 possesses the loosest structure, followed by 1:3 and 1:1 in turn. Cellulose’s crystalline structure had changed during NMMO process, and transformed from cellulose Ⅰ in cellulose pulps to cellulose Ⅱ in regenerated cellulose membrane, but could not form cellulose Ⅰ again. In addition, it can be found that crystallinity decrease remarkably, and the lattice size also reduces to a certain extent. Cellulose membrane at the proportion 1:1 was of the highest crystallinity and tensile strength, but its elongation keeps a continuous decline as mean DP decreasing.
