Abstract:

Two kinds of ionic liquids, namely, 1 -allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （ [ Amim ] C1） and 1 -butyl-3- methylimidazolium chloride （ [ Bmim ] C1）, were respectively used to decrystallize microcrystalline cellulose （MCC） for 20, 40 and 60 rain. XRD spectra show that, after the treatment with [ Amim ] C1 or [ Bmim ] C1, the crystalline index of MCC decreases from 90.2% to 72. 4% or to 66.8%. Moreover, XPS spectra indicate that, different from the relative content of chemical bonds, the chemical-bond type of cellulose macromolecules shows no obvious change after the decrystallization; and that the relative content changes of C--OH and C--OH…O are highly related to the variation of crystalline index, with the conelation coefficients being 0. 9990 and 0. 9846, respectively.
