Methyl methacrylate(MMA) was grafted onto microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) with ceric ammonium nitrate(CAN) as a redox initiator at the various conditions. The cellulose triacetate(CTA) composite films added MCC and MMA-grafted MCC powders were prepared on a glass plate. The graft yield(GY) and graft efficiency(GE) of the grafted MCC were calculated with the simple equations by the weight balance method. The double bond of C=O on the grafted MCC surfaces was confirmed by the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection(FT-IT ATR) spectrophotometer. After grafting, the degree of crystallinity of cellulose powders was decresed by judging from x-ray diffraction(XRD) data. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) photos showed the only solvent and CAN solution could change the roughness of MCC powders and the effect of powder dispersions in composite matrix. The tensile strength of MCC/CTA composite films was decreased with increase of MCC powder contents. When 5% grafted MCC was added, the tensile strength of grafted MCC/CTA composite films was increased from 82.3 MPa to 97.2 MPa. The thermal property of powders was also analyzed by the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).

본 연구에서는 생분해성인 microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)를 표면 개질하여 음식포장재로 사용하는 polyethylene (PE) 복합체의 충전제로 사용하기 위한 사전 연구를 수행하였다. 1 분자 당 1 차 아미노기 1개와 2차 아미노기 2개씩을 가지는 실란커플링제인(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)diethylenetriamine (TPDT)를 사용하여 MCC 표면에 이산화탄소 흡착 기능이 있는 아미노기를 도입하였다. TPDT 도입량, 팽윤시간, 반응온도 및 반응시간과 같은 다양한 반응 조건들을 변화시켜 각각의 반응조건의 변화가 MCC 표면 개질 정도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. MCC 표면에 접목된 TPDT의 양 및 화학결합생성을 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis (EA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) 및 고체 상태 $^{29}Si$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 반응시간, 반응온도 및 TPDT 도입량이 증가할수록 MCC 표면에 접목되는 TPDT 양이 증가함을 확인하였다.

The microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was prepared from oil palm biomass, empty fruit bunch (EFB) for increasing the usability of EFB. The morphological, physical and chemical properties of MCC made from EFB were evaluated by comparing with those of the commercial MCC obtained from AVICEL. The EFB-MCC had the wider distribution in particle size and there were many small particles around $10{\mu}m$. There were no significant differences in the cellulose crytallinity and the chemical composition between EFB-MCC and AVICEL-MCC. The properties of tablet samples made by the common direct compression process were evaluated depending on the types of MCC and the compression pressure during tablet making process. The tablet made of EFB MCC showed the higher compressed structure, which resulted in the less disintegration by the water soaking treatment than those made of Avicel-MCC. The results of this study showed that the EFB-MCC could be utilized as one of the commercial MCC.

The saw dust of tropical hardwood, Nyatoh(Palaquium Spp.), was used as a raw material for the preparation of the high valued microcrystalline cellulose(MCC). Three pulping methods, soda pulping, Kraft pulping, and acid-sulfite pulping were applied to obtain cellulose from the saw dust. The residual impurities were removed with the additional bleaching processes: (A) $ClO_2{\rightarrow}H_2O_2$; (B) $ClO_2{\rightarrow}O_3$; (C) $O_3$. For the acid treatment for MCC preparation, the $H_2SO_4$, with three concentration, 20%, 40%, 60% were applied and the effects of $H_2SO_4$ concentration on the properties of MCC were evaluated. The results indicated that the MCC obtained by acid-sulfite pulping followed with $O_3$ treatment and 40% $H_2SO_4$ treatment showed less residual lignin, higher brightness and crystallinity than that of Avicel MCC.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was prepared from Miscanthus in this study. Two pulping methods, soda pulping and alkaline sulfite pulping were applied as a pretreatment process. After pulping, two different bleaching processes such as $ClO_2$ treatment followed by $H_2O_2$ treatment and $O_3$ treatment followed by $H_2O_2$ treatment were carried out. Two concentration of $H_2SO_4$, 47% and 57% were applied to the purified Miscanthus cellulose as a acid hydrolysis process to make MCC. The crystallinity index and morphological properties of the produced MCC were evaluated with X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. The MCC originated from the soda pulping sample showed the higher crystallinity index than that originated from the alkaline sulfite pulping sample. The two stages of treatmen twith $O_3$ and $H_2O_2$ resulted in the higher purified cellulose products.

In this study, cellulose nanoplates (CNPs) were fabricated using cellulose nanocrystals obtained from commercial microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Their pyrolysis behavior and the characteristics of the product carbonaceous materials were investigated. CNPs showed a relatively high char yield when compared with MCC due to sulfate functional groups introduced during the manufacturing process. In addition, pyrolyzed CNPs (CCNPs) showed more effective chemical activation behavior compared with MCC-induced carbonaceous materials. The activated CCNPs exhibited a microporous carbon structure with a high surface area of 1310.6 m²/g and numerous oxygen heteroatoms. The results of this study show the effects of morphology and the surface properties of cellulose-based nanomaterials on pyrolysis and the activation process.

Chitin 유도체의 다양한 응용성에도 불구하고 chi­tin의 강한 내약품성과 적당한 용매부재로 산업적인 용도개발은 매우 부진한 실정 이다. 이와 같은 chitin 의 강한 내약품성을 완화시키는 방법의 하나는 chi­tin을 가수분해하여 MCC를 제조동}는 것이다. 기존의 MCC 제조공정은 주로 강산을 사용하는 공정이어서 사용한 산을 제거하거나 회수하기 위해 많은 후처리가 필요하다. 그래서 이를 대체할 수 있는 공정으로 초음파와 과산화수소를 붉은 엽산과 함께 사용하는 공정을 개발하였다. 이 공정의 주요변수로는 산농도, 팽윤시간 및 온도 그리고 초음파 조사시간 및 주파수이고 이들 변수가 분자량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. MCC의 분자량은 chitin 분자량 크기의 약 1/8인 30,000 정도였고, 어떤 일정한 크기에 접 근해 가는 것을 발견하였다. 이와 같은 현상은 cellu lose의 분자배열모델을 도입하여 해석하였다. Chitin 과 MCC 모두 섬유형태로 되어 었으며, MCC의 fi bril 크기는 chitin의 fibril 크기보다 훨씬 작음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 친환경적인 특징을 가지면서도 우수한 기계적 특성을 가지고 있어 고분자 복합재료의 보강제로 주목 받고 있는 Cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) 를 염산 혹은 황산을 사용한 산가수분해 방법을 이용하여 Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) 로 부터 추출하였다. 염산 혹은 황산을 사용하여 추출된 CNW는 직경이 20 에서 30nm 정도였고, 길이가 200 에서 300 nm 로써, 형상학적 측면에서 유사한 특성을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 전해질 용액의 전기전도도를 이용한 적정 (conductometric titration) 결과 황산을 이용하여 제조되어진 CNW의 경우, 셀룰로오스 표면의 sulfate group 에 의해 나타나는 표면전하 값이 각각 140, 197.78 mmol/kg으로 나타났으며, 염산을 이용하여 제조되어진 CNW 의 경우 셀룰로오스 표면에 약한 전하 값을 가져 표면전하 값을 구할 수 없었다. 황산을 이용하여 추출된 CNW의 열중량 분석 결과 염산을 이용하여 추출된 CNW와 비교하여 열분해 온도가 급격히 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, Broido's method를 이용하여 정의 되어진 열분해 거동에 대한 활성화 에너지 역시 상대적으로 낮음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The immediate purposes of this study is to establish the surface chemical principles associated with the flotation process of waste papers and to verify them by practical flotation experiments. To achieve this AKD sized hydrophobic microcrystallince cellulose (MCC) with different levels of hydrophobicity, and hydrophilic MCC dyed with black were prepared as model substances. The effects of surface characteristics on flotation efficiency were evaluated by measuing the brightness of the flotation rejects obtained after the flotation experiments carried out using MCC mixtures prepared with different ratios of hydrophobic and hydrophilic MCCs. Results showed that more than 90% of the flotation rejects consisted of hydrophobic MCC indicating the critical importance of the hydrophobicity of the materials in the flotation process. The proportions of hydrophobic materials in the reject remained constant when highly sized MCC was used as a model of hydrophobic substance.

To develop Taraxacum platycarpum extract (TP)-loaded particles for tablet dosage form, various TP-loaded particles composed of TP, dextrin, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), silicon dioxide, ethanol, and water are prepared using a spray-drying method and fluid-bed-drying method. Their physical properties are evaluated using angle of repose, Hausner ratio, Carr's index, hardness, disintegrant time, and scanning electron microscopy. Optimal TP-loaded particles improve flowability and compressibility. Furthermore, 2% silicon dioxide gives increased flowability and compressibility. The formula of TP-loaded fluid-bed-drying particles at a TP/MCC/silicon-dioxide amount of 5/5/0.2 improves the angle of repose, Hausner ratio, Carr's index, hardness, and disintegrant time as compared with the TP-loaded spray-drying particles. The TP-loaded fluid-bed-drying particles considerably improve flowability and compressibility ($35.10^{\circ}$ vs. $40.3^{\circ}$, 0.97 vs. 1.17, and 18.97% vs. 28.97% for the angle of repose, Hausner ratio, and Carr's index, respectively), hardness (11.34 vs. 4.7 KP), and disintegrant time (7.4 vs. 10.4 min) as compared with the TP-loaded spray-drying particles. Thus, the results suggest that these fluid-bed-drying particles with MCC and silicon dioxide can be used as powerful particles to improve the flowability and compressibility of the TP.
