Cellulose acetate was synthesized from cellulose which was isolated from teak wood (Tectona grandis) biowaste. The isolation process used an isolation method using nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfite and bleaching with calcium hypochlorite. Cellulose acetate was synthesized with acetic anhydride, toluene as a solvent, and sulphuric acid as a catalyst. Cellulose acetate reacted with acetic acid as a catalyst and glycerol-chitosan as a plasticizer. This product yielded a bioplastic. The synthesized products were characterized by using FTIR and SEM. The bioplastic’s mechanical properties were evaluated by ASTM D638 method. Based on the results of FTIR analysis, this result was successfully performed. This condition was shown by the sharpness of the hydroxyl group of cellulose acetate than the hydroxyl group in the cellulose and wood powder. The optimum result of bioplastic was obtained by composition of cellulose acetate: acetic acid: chitosan: glycerol is 0.8 gram: 15 mL: 0,4 gram: 1 mL.

Selulosa asetat merupakan senyawa turunan selulosa yang sering digunakan sebagai serat, membran, dan film fotografi dalam industri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh waktu asetilasi terhadap karakter selulosa asetat yang dihasilkan. Adapun proses yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah proses cellanase dengan bahan baku tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS). Tahapan reaksinya adalah aktivasi, asetilasi, dan hidrolisis. Aktivasi dilakukan di dalam labu leher tiga dengan penambahan asam asetat glacial 50 mL dan diaduk selama 3 jam pada kecepatan 125 rpm. Selanjutnya ditambahkan asetat anhidrida 15 mL sebagai agen asetilasi. Asetilasi dilakukan dengan variasi waktu, 2; 2,5; 3; dan 3,5 jam. Pada tahapan hidrolisis, ditambahkan air 2 mL dan asam asetat glacial 5 mL. Reaksi berlangsung selama 30 menit. Selanjutnya ditambahkan 1 gram natrium asetat untuk netralisasi yang berlangsung selama 5 menit. Kemudian dilakukan pencucian sampai bau asam asetat hilang. Tahapan terakhir adalah pengeringan yang dilakukan dengan suhu 55ºC selama 6 jam. Produk yang dihasilkan kemudian dianalisis kadar air, kadar asetil, rendemen dan gugus fungsi menggunakan analisa FTIR. Selulosa asetat yang terbaik diperoleh pada waktu asetilasi selama 2,5 jam dengan  kadar  asetil  40,36%, kadar  air  4.43%,  dan  rendemen 153,8%.Kata kunci: cellanase, selulosa, selulosa asetat. Cellulose acetate is a cellulose derivative which is often used as a fiber, membrane, and photographic film in industry. The  objectives  of  this  study  were  to determine the effect of acetylation time on the character of cellulose acetate. The process used in this study is the process of cellanase with α-cellulose of empty palm oil bunches materials. Stages of reaction are activation, acetylation, and hydrolysis. Activation was performed in a three-neck flask with the addition of 50 mL glacial acetic acid and stirred for 3 hours at 125 rpm. Then added 15 mL acetic anhydride as acetylation agent. Acetylation was performed by varying the time, 2; 2.5; 3; And 3.5 hours. At the hydrolysis stage, 2 mL of water and 5 mL glacial acetic acid were added. The reaction lasts for 30 minutes. Then added 1 gram of sodium acetate for neutralization lasts 5 minutes. then do the washing up to the smell of acetic acid disappeared. The final stage is the drying is done at a temperature of 55ºC for 6 hours. The resulting product was then analyzed for water content, acetyl content, rendement and functional groups using FTIR analysis. Cellulose acetate are best obtained at the time of acetylation for 2.5 hours with acetyl content of 40.36%, water content 4:43%, and a yield of 153.8%.Keywords: acetate cellulose, cellanase, cellulose.

Understanding the aging mechanism of polypropylene (PP) is fundamental for the fabrication and application of PP-based materials. In this paper, we present our study in which we first used reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulations to explore the thermo-oxidative aging of PP in the presence of acetic acid or acetone. We studied the effects of temperature and oxygen on the aging process and discussed the formation pathways of typical small molecule products (H2, CO, CO2, CH4, C2H4, and C2H6). The effect of two infection agents, acetic acid and acetone, on the aging reaction was analyzed emphatically. The simulation results showed that acetone has a weak impact on accelerating the aging process, while acetic acid has a significant effect, consistent with previous experimental studies. By tracking the simulation trajectories, both acetic acid and acetone produced small active free radicals to further react with other fragment products, thus accelerating the aging process. The first reaction step of acetic acid is often the shedding of the H atom on the hydroxyl group, while the reaction of acetone is often the shedding of the H atom or the methyl. The latter requires higher energy at lower temperatures. This is why the acceleration effect of acetone for the thermo-oxidative aging of PP was not so significant compared to acetic acid in the experimental temperature (383.15 K).

The color of Tectona grandis wood is an attribute that favors its commercialization, however, wood color from fast-growth plantation trees is clear and lacks uniformity. The aim of this work is to characterize steamed teak wood by means of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and [Formula: see text] color systems. Two moisture conditions (green and 50%) and two grain patterns (flat and quarter) of boards were analyzed through the application of different steaming times (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18[Formula: see text]h). The FTIR results showed that the bands at 1158, 1231, 1373 and 1419[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] did not show any change with steaming, whereas the bands at 1053, 1108, 1453, 1506, 1536, 1558, 1595, 1652, 1683, 1700 and 1733[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] presented a decrease in the intensity with the steaming time. The band at 1318[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] was the only one that increased. Lightness ([Formula: see text]) was the most affected parameter, followed by yellowness ([Formula: see text]), while redness ([Formula: see text]) showed the smallest change. Surface color change ([Formula: see text]) presented the lowest value between 3[Formula: see text]h and 6[Formula: see text]h of steam-drying in the boards with flat grain, whereas for boards with quarter grain, the smallest [Formula: see text] value was obtained after 18[Formula: see text]h of steaming.

When cellulose acetate sulphate is dissolved in acetone the hydrolysis of the sulphate ester is rapid compared with that of the acetate ester. In 70% acetone the relative rates are reversed. Hydrolysis of the sulphate ester in acetone is greatly affected by the temperature. At 25 °C. or greater the hydrolysis is complete after 24 hr. A potentiometric titration method has been developed for the estimation of sulphuric acid in the presence of smaller amounts of acetic acid.

Cellulose stearates were prepared in a 1-butyl-3-metylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid. The addition of base pyridine as well as catalyst Tin octoate sufficiently increases the degree of hydroxyl group substitution. The new path for preparation of cellulose mixed esters, namely cellulose acetate stearate (CAS), is performed. The 1H NMR data confirmed the structure of obtained mono- and mix- cellulose esters.
