Abstract:
This disclosure relates to improved packaging materials containing oxidized cellulose. More particularly, this disclosure relates to improved packaging materials containing oxidized cellulose exhibiting one or more of improved odor control and/or improved antimicrobial properties. This disclosure further relates to the use of oxidized cellulose in packaging materials as an anti-counterfeiting agent, and methods of testing for the same.
Abstract:
A filter media including an oxidized cellulose kraft fiber is described. The filter media provides improved filter characteristics including anti-microbial properties and anti-odor characteristics. The filter media may be used in both air filters and water filter.
Abstract:
Urine absorbing devices having a modified kraft pulp fiber with unique properties is provided. The kraft fiber is made from a method having at least one acidic, iron catalyzed peroxide treatment process that can be incorporated into at least one stage of a multi-stage bleaching process. The products can be diapers, incontinence products and other urine absorbing devices.
Abstract:
A pulp fiber with an enhanced carbonyl content resulting in improved antimicrobial, anti-yellowing and absorptive properties. Methods for making the kraft pulp fiber and products made from it are also described.
Abstract:
High permeability curly fibers with enhanced fiber strength are produced by mercerizing cellulosic fibers. The fibers have relatively high values for curl, kink level, wet tensile strength, and bulk density when compared with current fibers. The disclosed fibers can be used in a wide range of applications including paper products such as filters.
Abstract:
A modified kraft pulp fiber with unique properties is provided. The modified fiber can be a modified bleached kraft fiber that is almost indistinguishable from its conventional counterpart, except that it has a low degree of polymerization (DP). Methods for making the modified fiber and products made from it are also provided. The method can be a one step acidic, iron catalyzed peroxide treatment process that can be incorporated into a single stage of a multi-stage bleaching process. The products can be chemical cellulose feedstocks, microcrystalline cellulose feedstocks, fluff pulps and products made from them.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a composite of (a) oxidized cellulose comprising at least one carboxyl and (b) at least one component selected from a diamine, a diol, or mixture thereof. This disclosure further relates to methods of making such composite materials and suitable uses thereof, including in fibers, fabrics, textiles, films, fillers, packaging materials, plastics, etc.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to animal litter and more particularly to cat litter, which comprises oxidized cellulose, including non-regenerated oxidized cellulose. The oxidized cellulose animal litters are lightweight, highly absorbent, compressible and have excellent odor control and antimicrobial properties.
