This document provides information on cellulose acetate, including its history, production method, properties, uses, and characteristics. Some key points include:
- Cellulose acetate is produced through the reaction of cellulose with acetic acid and acetic anhydride. It can be dissolved and spun into fibers.
- It is thermoplastic and soluble in many organic solvents. Fibers are soft, smooth, and resist static cling.
- Other cellulose esters include cellulose acetate propionate and butyrate. Mixed esters have varying hydrophobicity.
- Viscoelastic behavior is influenced by degree of substitution and solvent system. It can undergo sol-gel transitions.
10. Cellulose
Reaction of the OH group: esters, ethers, etc.
DS=degree of substitution is important: DS=0-3/glucose
The DS is dependent on the availability of OH groups so it is a function of
the H-bonding in cellulose!
11. Reaction of Cellulose Acetate
Esters commercially made by Eastman.
Mostly short fibers for non-wovens like cigarette butts!
Relies on acetylated OH groups

Cellulose will react under anhydrous conditions in the presence of acid catalyst
and acetic anhydride to form cellulose tri-acetate. Cellulose acetate is the partially
acetylated product of high purity cellulose and acetic anhydride. It is obtained by
acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the tri-acetate to a DSav~2.4
(cellulose tri-acetate would be DS~3.0)

This material is soluble in acetone and other organic solvents
Properties, like biodegradability, are f(DS): remember, the biggest
impediment to this rxn is the availability of OH’s from H-bonding
this is fully acetylated cellulose
(sulfuric acid)
17. History of Cellulose acetate
(zyl, zylonite,Cellon and Rhodoid)
• Paul Schützenberger discovered cellulose acetate in 1865
• George Miles more solvents in 1904
• Camille and Henri Dreyfus in 1910
• DOPE
• In1914,The British Cellulose and Chemical Manufacturing Co - 1918 to
British Celanese Ltd
• In 1918 The American Cellulose & Chemical Manufacturing Company in
New York by the Dreyfus brothers In 1927- the Celanese Corporation of
America
• Mazzucchelli ,Celluloid Acetate sheets and Cellulose Nitrate
• Cellulose acetate film was introduced in 1934
• IBM in 1952 for use on their IBM 726 tape drive in the IBM 701 computer

Fiber properties
• Hand: soft, smooth, dry, crisp, resilient
• Comfort: breathes, wicks, dries quickly, no static cling
• Drape: linings move with the body linings conform to the garment
• Color: deep brilliant shades with atmospheric dyeing meet colorfastness
requirements
• Luster: light reflection creates a signature appearance
• Performance: colorfast to perspiration staining, colorfast to dry cleaning, air and
vapor permeable
• Tenacity: weak fiber with breaking tenacity of 1.2 to 1.4 g/d; rapidly loses strength
when wet; must be dry cleaned
• Abrasion: poor resistance
• Heat retention: poor thermal retention; no allergenic potential (hypoallergenic)
• Dyeability: (two methods) cross-dying method where yarns of one fiber and those
of another fiber are woven into a fabric in a desired pattern; solution-dying
method provides excellent color fastness under the effects of sunlight,
perspiration, air contaminants and washing

Production method
• Purified cellulose from wood pulp or cotton linters.
• Mixed with glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and a catalyst
• Aged 20 hours- partial hydrolysis occurs
• Precipitated as acid-resin flakes
• Flakes dissolved in acetone
• Solution is filtered
• Spinning solution extruded in column of warm air. Solvent
recovered
• Filaments are stretched and wound onto beams, cones, or
bobbins ready for use

Acetate fiber characteristics
• cellulosic and thermoplastic
• selective absorption and removal of low levels of certain organic chemicals
• easily bonded with plasticizers, heat, and pressure
• acetate is soluble in many common solvents (especially acetone and other organic solvents)
and can be modified to be soluble in alternative solvents, including water
• hydrophilic: acetate wets easily, with good liquid transport and excellent absorption; in textile
applications, it provides comfort and absorbency, but also loses strength when wet
• acetate fibers are hypoallergenic
• high surface area
• made from a renewable resource: wood pulp
• can be composted or incinerated
• can be dyed, however special dyes and pigments are required since acetate does not accept
dyes ordinarily used for cotton and rayon (this also allows cross-dyeing)
• resistant to mold and mildew
• easily weakened by strong alkaline solutions and strong oxidizing agents.
• can usually be washed or dry cleaned; generally does not shrink
21. Viscoelastic Behavior of Cellulose
Acetate
• Cellulose acetate (CA)/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA)/water
• phase-separated gel formation
• beta (1-4)-linked anhydroglucopyranose units(AGU)
• substituted at the C-2, 3-, and 6-positions of the AGU
• DS 0.5-1 soluble in aqueous solutions
• (DMA) dissolves CA of DS ranging from 0.49 to 2.92
• Solvent evaporation, changes in temperature, or the addition of a
nonsolvent
• sol-gel transition
• Hansen hydrogen-bonding solubility parameter index
• Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM)
