Effect of cellulose materials on the mechanochemical-assisted reaction system with oleic acid.

ABSTRACT: As the most abundant natural polymer in nature, cellulose has become the promising alternative raw material to replace fossil-based polymer. Owing to the presence of innumerable hydroxyl groups, various approaches are employed to render processability of cellulose. Herein, a sustainable esterification strategy, mechanochemical-assisted esterification, was developed to produce cellulose oleate (CO) with only a small amount of solvent. The differences in reactivity between all types of cellulose were elucidated. According to thermal stability analysis, the degradation temperature decreased after modification due to the substitution of the long oleoyl group. High degree of substitution (DS) of CO also possessed glass transition temperature (T_g) based on differential scanning
