Synthesis and Characterization of Membranes from Cellulose Acetate Derivatives of Corn Husk

Abstract:

In this study membranes synthesized using cellulose acetate through chemical crosslinking process with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dimethylformamide (DMF) acts as crosslinker agent. Cellulose is derived from corn husk, which known as agricultural waste that has potential sources of cellulosic fibers in producing cellulose acetate. The prepared membranes of corn husk cellulose were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction. The effect of various additives and additives concentration were investigated to obtain swelling degree and tensile strength of membranes. Result showed that highest swelling degree of 236% was achieved in the condition of DMF/S 10% w/w. This condition produce cellulose acetate membrane with thickness of 0.074 mm, tensile strength of 27.5kg/cm² and elongation of 3.5%.
