Application

Lauroyl chloride was used:
  • as tailoring agent for chemical modification of nanocelluloses of different length, nanofibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals
  • in the preparation of acylated collagen with water solubility and better surface activity
  • as organic low-friction boundary lubricant in the preparation of novel polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel
  • in the synthesis of hemicellulose-based hydrophobic biomaterials

Nanocelluloses are bio-based nanoparticles of interest as stabilizers for oil-in-water (o/w) Pickering emulsions. In this work, the surface chemistry of nanocelluloses of different length, nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC, long) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC, short), was successfully tailored by chemical modification with

Hemicellulose-based hydrophobic biomaterials with degrees of substitution ranging from 0.46 to 1.54 were synthesized under mild conditions in homogeneous media (N,N-dimethylformamide-lithium chloride) by reacting the native wheat straw hemicellulosic polymers with lauroyl chloride using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst. Other catalysts
