Abstract:
This invention provides cellulose ester interpolymers, and methods of oxidizing cellulose interpolymers and cellulose ester interpolymers. The invention also provides routes to access carboxylated cellulose ester derivatives with high acid numbers wherein the carboxyl group is attached directly to the cellulose backbone by a carbon-carbon bond. Through functionalization of an intermediate aldehyde, the corresponding cationic or zwitterionic cellulose ester derivatives can also be accessed. The interpolymers of the present invention have a number of end-use applications, for example, as binder resins in various types of coating compositions and as drug delivery agents.
Abstract:
A hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose film comprises hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose plasticised with a plasticiser comprising an organic acid or a salt of an organic acid, preferably lactic acid, or an alcohol or salt of an alcohol. The film is safe for human consumption and finds use as a wall material of an ingestible delivery capsule, e.g. containing a dose of a pharmaceutical preparation.
Abstract:
In a cellulose acylate solution, cellulose acylate is dissolved in an essentially non-chlorinated solvent. The essentially non-chlorinated solvent is a mixture of a ketone having a solubility parameter of 19 to 21 and an ester having a solubility parameter of 19 to 21. The solution further contains a releasing agent.
Abstract:
A cellulosic ester has associated with the ester at least one near infrared fluorophore. A method for incorporating the near infred fluorophore into the cellulosic ester is also provided. In the method, the near infrared fluorophore is dissolved in a strong acid and precipitated to form an acid paste. The paste is then added to an activated cellulose, such as a hydrolyzed cellulose acetate, in the presence of at least one acid and acid anhydride. Advantageously, such marked cellulosic materials can be solvent spun into staple fibers which may be further utilized in known materials, webs and articles.
Abstract:

Abstract:
This invention relates to binary blends of cellulose esters and aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters, cellulose esters and aliphatic polyesters as well as ternary blends of cellulose esters and/or aliphatic polyesters and/or aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters and/or polymeric compounds as well as fibers, molded objects, and films prepared therefrom.
Abstract:
A process for producing a fiber or film of regenerated cellulose from a composition having a base of cellulose formate is provided. The composition is characterized by the following: (1) the composition is a solution; (2) the concentration of cellulose formate in the composition is at least 8% by weight; (3) the degree of substitution of the cellulose by formate groups is greater than 20% and (4) the composition contains one or more compounds selected from among alkylsulfoxides, lactams, acrylic amides and cyclic derivatives of urea as a solvent. The process for producing the fiber or film involves (i) transforming the composition into a liquid extrudate having the form of a fiber or film at a temperature at which the solution is isotropic at rest; (ii) coagulating the liquid extrudate; (iii) regenerating the cellulose of the fiber or film obtained and (iv) washing and drying the regenerated cellulose fiber or film.
