Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a fine cellulose fiber dispersion liquid includes: an oxidation process in which a cellulose is subjected to an oxidation treatment to obtain an oxidized cellulose; and a dispersion process in which the oxidized cellulose obtained in the oxidation process is subjected to a dispersion treatment in a water-based medium in which a pH thereof is adjusted to 4 to 12 using either an ammonia water or an organic alkali to obtain the fine cellulose fiber dispersion liquid.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a cellulose dispersion includes oxidizing cellulose; preparing cellulose nanofibers by defibrating the oxidized cellulose; and adding a water-soluble polymer and inorganic particles to the dispersion containing the cellulose nanofibers.
Abstract:
The invention makes it possible to use a coating liquid of a fine cellulose fiber (a natural material) and to form a coated layer which can be used as a various-functions layer such as a gas barrier layer and water vapor barrier layer etc. by achieving good adhesiveness and coatability of the coating liquid, and as a result, provides a laminated material in which temporal degradation of a substrate and the fine cellulose fiber layer is prevented. The laminated body includes a substrate, an anchor layer arranged on a surface the substrate, and a fine cellulose fiber layer containing a fine cellulose fiber having a carboxy group, wherein the anchor layer contains at least one resin having a carboxy group, sulfonate group, amino group or hydroxyl group.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a formed article, or more specifically a transparent substrate, which effectively utilizes a natural stuff and which has a low linear expansion coefficient, a high light transmittance and an appropriate level of moisture permeability. The transparent substrate includes at least an oxidized polysaccharide and has a linear expansion coefficient of 50 ppm/° C. or less at 30-150° C. and a light transmittance of 70% or more at 660 nm. Its manufacturing method includes an oxidation process in which cellulose reacts with TEMPO or its derivatives as a catalyst to be oxidized in water under the presence of a co-oxidant, along with a fiberizing process in which the oxidized cellulose is fiberized in water to form a cellulose fiber, and a substrate-forming process in which a transparent substrate is formed from a cellulose dispersion liquid containing the cellulose fiber.

[Problem] To provide a composition for film formation comprising cellulose fibers, a layered inorganic compound, and a water-soluble polymer, which are each dispersed on nano level, a method for preparing a cellulose dispersion capable of forming a moisture-resistant film containing cellulose nanofibers, a gas-barrier laminate obtained by use of the dispersion, and a packaging material using the laminate. [Solution] A film-forming composition comprising at least cellulose fibers and a swollen inorganic compound is prepared. The method of preparing a cellulose dispersion comprises the steps of oxidizing cellulose, fibrillating the thus oxidized cellulose to prepare cellulose nanofibers, and adding a water-soluble polymer and inorganic particles to the dispersion containing the cellulose nanofibers.
