  Abstract

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which is water-soluble at room temperature, was synthesized from cellulose in this study. Experimental parameters included reaction temperature, time, concentration of NaOH, and monochloroacetic acid (MCA). In mercerization and etherification, solubility and degree of substitution (DS) increased when NaOH (or MCA) concentration increased and maximum solubility and DS were achieved when NaOH or MCA was 30%. The effect of MCA concentrations on the DS was larger than that of the NaOH concentration. Tensile strength of the CMC was decreased by the increases of reaction time, reagent concentration and reaction temperature. Tensile strength also decreased by NaOH and MCA. However, low decrease of tensile strength was observed in near neutral region.
