    摘要: Processes disclosed are capable of converting biomass into high-crystallinity nanocellulose with low mechanical energy input. In some variations, the process includes fractionating biomass with sulfur dioxide or a sulfite compound and water, to generate cellulose-rich solids and a liquid containing hemicellulose and lignin; and mechanically treating the cellulose-rich solids to form nanofibrils and/or nanocrystals. The total mechanical energy may be less than 500 kilowatt-hours per ton. The crystallinity of the nanocellulose material may be 80% or higher, translating into good reinforcing properties for composites. The nanocellulose material may include nanofibrillated cellulose, nanocrystalline cellulose, or both. In some embodiments, the nanocellulose material is hydrophobic via deposition of some lignin onto the cellulose surface. Optionally, sugars derived from amorphous cellulose and hemicellulose may be separately fermented, such as to monomers for various polymers. These polymers may be combined with the nanocellulose to form completely renewable composites.

    摘要: 481,427. Coated fabrics; coating webs. BURGESS, A. F. (Marathon Paper Mills Co.) June 6, 1936, No. 15908. Addition to 481,426. [Class 140] [Also in Group XXII] Sheet material such as paper, fabric, fibreboard, metal foil, wood veneer, and regenerated cellulose is provided with a superficially adhering, thin, elastic, flexible, non-tacky, moisture-, water-, and gas-proof layer by applying the rubber-wax composition described in the parent Specification. The web 3 to be coated passes over a steam-heated roll 5, preferably non-rotating. Coating-material 8 is applied in front of a doctor bar 7 which may be heated by electrical elements 11. The coated web then passes over water-cooled rolls 15, 16. The temperature of the roll 5 and doctor 7 is between 180 and 230‹ F. The product is capable of being heat-sealed and may be used in making boxes or containers for food.
