The induced surface changes were characterized by Scaning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The effect of laser treatment conditions such as power and time of irradiation on the dyeing behaviour of both polyester and cellulose acetate fabrics was studied. A greater depth of shade was achieved on laser treated fabrics compared to the untreated fabric dyed with disperse dye upon the same dyeing conditions. Fabric wettability, surface roughness and fastness properties were also given. Microscopic analysis of the cross section of the dyed samples showed deeper penetration of dye molecules inside the interior structure of cellulose acetate fabric. The depth of disperse dye into CA fibers increased from 20.2% for untreated sample to 43.9% for treated one that may help to overcome the ring dyeing problem. Also, laser treatment of cellulose acetate was more effective in enhancing its dyeability with disperse dye than ultrasonic dyeing technique under the same dyeing conditions. Keywords: Polyester; Cellulose acetate; Disperses dye; Laser also indicated. The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) after dyeing treatment; Surface modification; Dyeability of CA and PET was evaluated as an indication of reduction of the pollution impacts.

Both PET and CA fabrics were dyed 1.32 g/cm3 and of 38.5% acetyl content was used.

  • Rapid Identification of Cellulose Nitrate and Cellulose Acetate Film In
    Carter et al. Herit Sci (2020) 8:51 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-020-00395-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Rapid identifcation of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate flm in historic photograph collections Elizabeth A. Carter1,2* , Brad Swarbrick2, Thérèse M. Harrison1 and Lucilla Ronai3 Abstract Cellulose nitrate transparent plastic flm was used by photographers and movie flmmakers from its release in the 1880s to the 1950s. The storage of this material is a challenge for cultural institutions because of its instability and haz- ardous nature, as nitrate is highly fammable and deteriorates over time. Historically, cellulose acetate gradually began to replace cellulose nitrate as it is not fammable. Despite its non-fammable properties, leading to cellulose acetate being called ‘safety’ flm, over time it became clear that it also deteriorates in hazardous ways. Identifcation of cellu- lose nitrate and cellulose acetate in collections is necessary for preservation and risk management to collections and humans. Both cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate are found in gallery, library, archive and museum photographic collections. As a result, identifcation and management of this material might be the responsibility of curators, librar- ians, archivists, collection managers, registrars or conservators, depending on the institution stafng and structure. Currently, there is no single identifcation method readily available to heritage institutions that meets the require- ments to identify and distinguish between cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate reliably, non-destructively and rapidly. In this study samples from both the Sydney University Museums and Australian National Maritime Museum collections have been analysed using infrared total refectance spectroscopy, a novel approach which demonstrates great potential for rapid and non-invasive identifcation particularly when combined with multivariate statistical analysis methods.

  • Production, Properties and Applications of Cellulose Acetate
    Production, properties and applications of Cellulose Acetate http://www.tatvachintan.com Cellulose acetate (C6H7O2(OH)3 ), basically a chain of glucose molecules, is a heavily useful industrial compound that is used in many important products used worldwidely everyday. It is an acetate ester also known as Cellon or Rhodoid or Zyl or Zylonite. Mostly it is used as fiber material in industries. Production Procedure of Cellulose Acetate -Cellulose is derived from wood pulp or linters of cotton. This is not 100% pure cellulose. Instead, it is 6-7% concentrated cellulose in water. -In displacement and acetylation phase, firstly water or impure acetic base used to make cellulose suspension is replaced with 100% of pure acetic acid. This process is done with “displacement filter”. -Then the suspension is sent to Acetylation kneader where acetylation takes place and dough acetic syrup is produced. This syrup is mixed with certain amount of water to avoid excessive anhydride and introduce certain amoun of water for next stage of process. -This sough mixture is then sent for hydrolysis. After end of hydrolysis, we get Cellulose acetate with acetic acid content around 54-55 percent. -The syrup is then precipitated as acid-resin flakes. -The acid-resin flakes suspension is then sent into ripening rotary drum -From ripening rotary drum, it is fed into washing rotary filter where it is filtered . The washing rotary filter is fed with water and delivers diluted acid. -Spinning solution is then extruded through conveyer belts into a column of warm air and thus solvent is recovered. -Recovered solvent (Dry cellulose acetate) filaments are then stretched onto cones and bobbins.

However, biodegradability is a material property that is influenced by many factors. This review provides an overview of the main environmental conditions in which biodegradation takes place and then presents the degradability of numerous polymers. Polylactide (PLA), which is already available on an industrial scale, and the polyhydroxyalkanoates polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV), which are among the few plastics that have been proven to degrade in seawater, will be discussed in detail, followed by a summary of the degradability of further petroleum-, cellulose-, starch-, protein- and CO2-based biopolymers and some naturally occurring polymers. Keywords: biodegradable polymers; environmental pollution; end of life scenario; plastics in the environment 1. Introduction Plastics have become an indispensable part of everyday life. The various strengths of plastics come into their own in a wide variety of applications—packaging, clothing, car tires and much more. At the same time, however, the often-desired resistance to environmental influences and other stresses represents a major challenge. Plastic waste is increasingly found in the oceans, in rivers and in the ground, mostly as a result of human misconduct.

  • How to Make and Use a Film Viewer
    Completing the Polarization Test How to Make and Use a Film Viewer The film viewer is valuable tool for distinguishing polyester film supports from cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate film supports in a simple and no‐destructive manner (NOTE: It cannot distinguish between cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate). This information is important to know when considering your park unit’s cold storage needs, as B&W polyester films are significantly more stable than cellulosic film supports and do not need cold storage. Therefore, such materials may be stored in normal environmental conditions (70 degrees /50%RH) within museum storage spaces. Ultimately, this may save considerable space within a freezer compartment or cold storage vault. Instructions on How to Make a Film Viewer Materials Needed: • Polarizing Filter sheet film (available at photo supply stores) • Archival Mat Board • 3M‐415 Clear, Double‐sided tape (1/4” width, recommended) • Tyvek tape (2 ¼” width, recommended) • Scissors • Scalpel/blade or Exacto knife • Paper cutter or blade for cutting mat board and polarizing filter/film To make a 6” x 8” viewer tool: 1. Cut mat board into two 6x8” pieces 2. Cut two 3x3” square pieces of polarizing filter/film 3. With mat board lying flat, use scalpel/blade or Exactor knife to cut out a 2x2” square in lower right corner. Square should be 1 inch from each edge. Cut these in both mat boards. 4. Place one board on top of the other so the squares match up (this is how the mat boards will look when taped together. You will be able to open it like a book.
