재생 셀룰로스 섬유의 원료로 사용되는 셀룰로스는 면, 마, 목재 등 고등식물의 주성분으로 매년 수십억톤이 광합성에 의하여 생산되어지고 있다. 따라서 석유류와 같은 화석연료의 가격 변동에 영향을 받지 않고 안정적으로 수입되고 있다. 또한, 셀룰로스에는 면이나 마류 등과 같이 간단한 정제 처리에 의해 의류용 섬유로서 사용될 수 있는 것과 목재 섬유와 같이 펄프화하여 종이, 인견섬유, 필름 등으로 사용되어지는 것이 있으며, 셀룰로스 유도체도 제조할 수 있다. 현재까지 개발된 섬유들 중 대표적인 셀룰로스계 재생섬유인 비스코스 레이온(Viscose rayon)은 그 제조 방법이 환경적으로 치명적인 문제를 안고 있으나 고유의 우수한 드레이프성, 흡습성, 독특한 광택, 시원한 촉감 등을 가지고 있어 그 소비는 꾸준한 상황이다. 이러한 Viscose rayon을 대체하기 위하여 친환경적인 공법을 이용하여 개발된 Lyocell 제품이 각광을 받고 있다. 면 셀룰로스 재생섬유는 기존의 Lyocell섬유에 비해 신도는 높고 모듈러스가 낮아 Modal과 같은 촉감을 가지고, 피브릴 발생이 없어 방사공정에서 가교반응이 필요치 않는 것으로 기대된다. 친환경 공법인 Lyocell 공법으로 개발된 면 린터 원료를 이용하여 면 린터 셀룰로스 재생섬유 제조기술을 개발하고자 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 면 린터 셀룰로스 재생섬유의 기술적인 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 면 린터 셀룰로스 재생섬유소재 피브릴화 정도의 표준화 시험법을 연구하고자 한다. 사용원단으로 Tencel A-100, Tencel standard, Modal, Lyocell LF, 면 린터 섬유를 사용하였으며, 세탁, 염색, 알칼리조건 처리에 따른 물성 변화를 알아보았다. 물성 변화는 전자현미경으로 측정하였다.

A Na-cellulose adsorbent was prepared by treating Sigma S-5504 cellulose with 2M NaOH and examined the adsorption behavior between metal ions and Na-cellulose in aqueous solution with batch method. Considering ion exchange capacity of Na-cellulose, the adsorption ratio of the Na-cellulose to metals charge equivalent indicated that the adsorption result from ion exchanging between metal ions and Na-cellulose. The enthalpy for the metal adsorption on the Na-cellulose was calculated to -18kcal/mol, which value was compared to those of carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) and Dowex 50W-X8, these result suggested that the adsorption on Na-cellulose resulted from ion exchange adsorption.

The effects of compost inoculation on the degradation of cellulosic fraction in composting of food waste and paper mixture were investigated by bench-scale composting. With the increase of seed inoculation, the time to reach the peaks of temperature, $CO_2$ evolution rate, and ammonia evolution rate was reduced, indicating that seed compost had beneficial effects on the enhanced degradation of organic materials at the early stage of composting. However, the final conversion of organic matters and the loss of ammonia were not affected by the amount of seed compost inoculated. The increasing of seed inoculum also resulted in the higher level of cellulase activity at initial stages and rapid rise to the maximums, suggesting that initial supply of sufficient cellulolytic microorganisms might facilitate the evolution of cellulase activity. The cellulose was degraded substantially during the increasing phase of cellulase activity, while they showed similar values at the end of 20 days composting. As a result, the seed inoculation seemed to be effective to the enhanced evolution of cellulase activity and cellulose degradation at initial stage of composting. But it did not contribute to increase the final degradation of cellulose after the entire composting reaction of 20 days.

Ethyl cellulose-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (EP) was synthesized by esterification of carboxylic acid functionalized methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG-COOH) with ethyl cellulose (EC) in order to develop a hydrophilic substrate for thin-film composite (TFC) membrane in a forward osmosis (FO) system. A porous EP substrate, fabricated by a non-solvent induced phase separation method, was found to be more hydrophilic than the EC substrate due to the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains in the EP. Since the EP substrate exhibits smaller water contact angles and higher porosity, the structural parameter (S) of TFC-EP is smaller than that of TFC-EC, indicating that internal concentration polarization (ICP) within porous substrates can occur less when TFC-EP is used as a membrane. For example, the water flux value of the TFC-EP is 15.7 LMH, whereas the water flux value of the TFC-EC is only 6.6 LMH. Therefore, we strongly believe that the TFC-EP could be a promising candidate with good FO performances.

Acetylated Cellulose Ether (ACE), cellulose-based amphiphilic polymer with hydrophilic and hydrophobic, was synthesized and investigated in terms of its solubility and wettability for organic solvents and water. Acetyl group was substituted to the cellulose ether in a hydrophilic polymer by esterification. As a result of FT-IR, the peak corresponding to the hydroxyl group decreased and carboxyl acid peak increased with increasing reaction time and temperature, which signified the increase in the degree of acetylation of the ACE. There were similar thermal decomposition behaviors before and after esterification reaction until $800^{\circ}C$ so that the reaction occurred without significant structural changes of cellulose backbones. The solubility parameter of the ACE had a range of 18.5~26.4, and its viscosity and turbidity were controlled according to the solubility parameter of organic solvents. The ACE showed the hydrophilicity because the contact angle of the ACE was higher than the cellulose ether. These results confirmed that the ACE had the hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity due to the ether which was glucosidic bonding between the glucose units and un-reacted hydroxyl functional groups in the ACE.

A new sampling and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) method for the analysis of underivatized cellulose are established. In this method, cellulose materials are first dissolved in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) and diluted by adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make the sample solutions of about 0.1% in 50/50 NMMO/DMSO (w/w). Sample solutions are analyzed using a glucose-treated divinylbenzene (DVB) SEC column and DMSO containing 0.05M LiBr and 2.5 blank as the eluant. The flow rate was constant at 1 mL/min and the whole SEC system including the column was heated at $80^{\circ}C$ to reduce the viscosity of DMSO. Addition of 0.05 M LiBr eliminated SEC baseline drifting, and addition of 2.5 blank seems to reduce the interaction between the sample and the column packing. SEC molecular weights were determined using a calibration curve constructed from a series of narrow pullulan standards, and they were used to measure the degree of degradation during two different pulp-to-sponge processings.

Abstract Secondary cell wall is the most abundant biomass produced by plants. Plant secondary cell wall is composed of a complex mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Lignin, a phenolic polymer that hinders the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides to simple sugars destined for fermentation to bio-ethanol. Cell wall biosynthesis pathway-specific biomass engineering offers an attractive 'genetic pretreatment' strategy to improve bioenergy feedstock. Recently, we found a transcription factor, MYB7, which is a transcriptional switch that may turns off the genes necessary for lignin biosynthesis. To gain insights into MYB7 mediated transcriptional regulation, we first established a dominant suppression system in Arabidopsis by expressing MYB7-SRDX. Then we used a transient transcriptional activation assay to confirm that MYB7 suppress the transcription of the lignin biosynthetic gene. Taken together, we conclude that MYB7 function as a repressor of the genes involved in the lignin biosynthesis.

The production process of cellulosic ethanol from rice straw using acidic saccharification was studied in this experimental work. The hydration by ultrasonic energy and the acidic saccharification using 10~30 wt% of $H_2SO_4$ were performed as pretreatment processes. Also, 10~50 wt% of yeast for 3~6 days was used for fermentation process. The yield of cellulosic ethanol was decided in the fermentation process. The optimum pretreatment condition was 375W of ultrasonic power and 30 min of hydration time using 20 wt% of $H_2SO_4$ and 2 h of the acidic saccharification time. Finally, the optimum fermentation condition was at the condition of 30 wt% of yeast and 3 days of fermentation time.

Immobilized cellulase on weak ion exchange resin showed a typical Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Immobilized cellulase had better stability with respect to pH and temperature than free cellulase. Kinetics of thermal inactivation on free and immobilized cellulase followed first order rate, and immobilized cellulase had a longer half-life than free cellulase. The initial rate method was used to characterize the kinetic parameters of free and immobilized enzyme. The Michaelis-Menten constant $K_m$ was higher for the immobilized enzyme than it was for the free enzyme. The effect of the recirculation rate on cellulose degradation was studied in a recycling packed-bed reactor. In a continuous packed-bed reactor, the increasing flow rate of cellulose decreased the conversion efficiency of cellulose at different input lactose concentrations. Continuous operation for five days was conducted to investigate the stability of long term operation. The retained activity of the immobilized enzymes was 48% after seven days of operation.
