| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Both cellulose and carbon dioxide are abundant natural carbon resources. In this research, the development of a new polymer was conducted by the direct reaction of these two chemicals. We investigated the development of a solvent to dissolve cellulose, a new catalyst to proceed the reaction and a washing method of the products. As a result, cerium oxide was found to be an effective catalyst and cellulose was partially modified. It can be observed that the formed product has about 100 degrees Celsius higher degradation temperature than that of original cellulose. To reveal this interesting nature, we are planning to analyze the structure of this product in detail.
