I am currently doing project related to cellulose fiber, May I know if there is any recommended reading with regards to the following:
1. Surface charge of cellulose in acid and base
2. Acidity or basicity of hydroxyl group of cellulose fiber
- Does acidity of hydroxyl group change in the alkaline solution?
Also, if anyone knows anything with regards to the above, feel free to leave your comments.
Thank you!
If you need a really precise answer it's a good idea to determine it yourself from the samples of interest. The answer really depends on the chemical treatments that the sample has gone through but generally most cellulosic fibers tend to have a negative charge in water. These papers by Junka et al. may prove quite useful.
