Composite membranes of niobium(V) oxide and cellulose acetate (Cel/Nb2O5) were prepared with the following Nb2O5 loadings (in wt%): 1.1, 6.1, 9.8, 15.6, and 20.9. The thermal stability of the membranes slightly decreased in relation to the pure membrane on incorporation of the metal oxide into the m

composite material because the precursor reagent reacts with the amorphous phase of the cellulose fibers. Loadings between 4.5 and 16.0% of the oxide were achieved and in every case the oxide EXPERIMENTAL particles uniformly cover the fiber surface. Lewis and Brønsted acid sites were determined by using pyridine as the basic molecular probe.

Cellulose/antimony(III) oxide composites, Cel/Sb(2)O(3), with oxide loadings of 1.7, 5.4, and 9.2 wt% were prepared by reacting the precursor SbCl(3) reagent with cellulose in dry ethanol solution. The reaction of the Lewis acid and the cellulose fibers occurred at the~amorphous domains of the biopo
We have investigated the effect of zinc oxide as a photocatalyst and durable flame-retardant on cellulosic fibers. Zinc oxide nanocrystals were successfully synthesized and deposited onto cellulosic fibers using sol-gel process at low temperature. The samples were characterized by means of several t
Aluminum oxide coated cellulose fibers were modified, by an impregnation procedure, with n-propylpyridinium chloride silsesquioxane polymer. Good adherence of the polymer to the surface of modified cellulose fibers was obtained due to the Al-O-Si bond formation. The metal X-ray mapping showed that a
