β¦ Synopsis
Two new cellulose copolymers have been developed by crosslinking cyanoethylated cellulose with reactive monomers or prepolymers of step-growth polymers such as polyurethane and polysiloxane. Both copolymers formed compatible transparent films at 50% loading of step-growth polymers. The films possess high impact resistance, water repellency and thermostability at 150Β°C for over 15 hr without weight loss. The kinetic parameters of crosslinking, such as conversion versus time and temperature, heat of reaction (AH), activation energy (AE), and reaction order (n), have been investigated.
The morphology of the fractured surfaces of the films as revealed by SEM is also discussed.
