Abstract

Synthesis of cellulose tosylate by reaction of different cellulose starting materials with tosylchloride under homogeneous conditions using triethylamine as catalyst and the dimethylacetamide/LiCl system as solvent was described in this paper. The samples obtained were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR and X-ray. Moreover, effect of molar ratio of AGU/tosylchloride, cellulosic starting materials (cotton linters, wood pulp and them treated by steam explosion) and dissolution method of cellulose on DSTos of cellulose tosylate was discussed.
