Mechanical Properties, Morphology and IR Analysis of the Proban CC-Treated Celluloses
In this paper Proban CC-treated high-wet-modulus (HWM), viscose and Lyocell celluloses were prepared and their properties, such as IR analysis, flammability and mechanical properties were studied. IR showed that in three Proban CC-treated celluloses the new absorption peak around 1560 cm-1 appeared. After combustion, Proban CC-treated HWM celluloses almost completely remained the fiber profile, then the Proban CC-treated Lyocell celluloses, finally the Proban CC-treated viscose celluloses. Though three Proban CC-treated celluloses showed the good thermal stability, their mechanical properties were declined. The strength of the Proban CC-treated HWM celluloses declined most, then the Proban CC-treated Lyocell celluloses, finally the Proban CC-treated viscose celluloses. These indicated that Proban CC treatment influenced the mechanical properties of the celluloses badly.
