The Improvement of Wet Strength Properties of Sheet by N-Chlorocarbamoylethylation

N-chlorocarbamoylethyl화에 의한 sheet의 습윤강도 향상효과

For the purpose of improving the wet strength properties of paper, cellulosic fibers were modified by the processes of carbarmoylethylation and N-chlorocarbamoylethylation. Carbamoylethylated cellulose was prepared by the reaction of acrylamide with cellulosic fibers under the alkali catalyst, and N-chlorocarbamoylethylated cellulose was prepared by the addition of sodium hypochlorite into the carbamoylethylated cellulose. In carbamoylethylation reaction, the conditions of NaOH concentration, temperature and acrylamide addition rate were considered to be important factors. An initial reactivity and degree of substitution(DS) in carbamoylethylation of cellulosic fibers were effective according to increasing the addition rates of alkali, acrylamide and the temperature condition of $40^{\circ}C$. The effective wet strength properties by N-chlorocarbamoylethylation of cellulosic fibers were indicated under the conditions of DS 0.06. The wet strength of sheet was improved to 85% at the 100% basis of dry strength. From the photograph of scanning electron microscopy, fiber cuttings on the edge of sheet sample used in tensile strength testing were found in the N-chlorocarbamoylethylated sheet, due to the improvement of fiber bonding strength. The hypochlorite treatment was effective in the recycling of N-chlorocarbamoylethylated sheet, and was reduced the wet strength of sheet to be able to reslush.

종이에 습윤강도를 부여하기 위하여 셀룰로오스 섬유를 chlorocarbamoylethyl화 한 후 이를 다시 N-chlorocarbamoylethyl화했다. Chlorocarbamoylethyl화는 알칼리 촉매하에서 아크릴 아마이드와의 반응에 의해서 제조되었으며, N-chlorocarbamoylelhyl 화는 차아염소산나트륨 첨가에 의해서 제조되었다. carbamoylelhyl 화에서는 NaOH의 농도와 온도 그리고 아크릴아마이드의 첨가량이 중요한 인자로 작용했으며, carbamoylelhyl화의 초기반응에서는 $40^{\circ}C$온도에서 그리고 알칼리와 아크랄아마이드의 첨가랑이 증가할수록 더 높은 치환도가 나타났다. N-chlorocarbamoylelhyl에 의한 가장 높은 습윤강도는 치환도 0.06에서 sheet의 건조강도에 85%에 해당하는 강도를 나타냈으며, 이를 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 N-chlorocarbamoylethyl sheel의 파단면에서 섬유간 컬합력의 증가로 인한 섬유의 절단을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 그리고, N-chlorocarbamoylelhyl sheet의 재활용을 위하여 습윤강도를 저하시키는데는 차아염소산나트륨이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
