Abstract

This work not only eliminates the limitations and preserves the inherent advantages of eugenol but also imparts controllable hydrophobic and antioxidative properties to cellulose-based packaging. Eugenol, a prototypical natural phenolic compound, was immobilized by chemical linkage onto cellulose. A quantitative analysis based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggests a poly-eugenol structure on cellulose surface. Increasing the specific surface of cellulose by freeze-drying increased the reaction efficiency. The resulting material shows a robust antioxidant activity and tunable hydrophobility, making it a promising candidate for diverse applications.
