Chemical Modification of Japanese Cedar Sapwood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) sapwood (20–30 years old) was supplied by the experimental forest of the National Taiwan University. The dimensions of the slicewood samples were 3 mm (R) × 12 mm (T) × 58 mm (L). Oven-dried wood specimens that had straight longitudinal grain, were free of defects, and had modulus of elasticity (MOE) values from 5.5 to 7.0 GPa were selected for this study. All of the samples were used after extraction in a Soxhlet apparatus for 24 h with a 1:2 (v/v) mixture of ethanol and toluene followed by washing with distilled water. The extracted slicewood was dried at 105 °C for 12 h, and the oven-dried weights were measured. Vinyl acetate (VA), acetic anhydride (AA), dimethylformamide (DMF), potassium acetate (PA) (Sigma–Aldrich Chemical Co, St. Louis, MO, USA), potassium carbonate (PC) (Merck Chemical Co., Darmstadt, Germany), and other chemicals and solvents used in this experiment were of the highest quality available.

EXAMPLE 5

In this example, an Ethylene-based polymer was produced by incorporating vinyl acetate and trimethylsilyl-protected methyl vinyl glycolate to assay a number of polymer properties for the resulting compositions.

Ethylene (99.95%, Air Liquide, 1200 psi) and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, 98% Sigma Aldrich) were used as received. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC, anhydrous 99%, Sigma Aldrich) and vinyl acetate (99%, Sigma Aldrich) were distilled before use and stored under nitrogen.

Synthesis of terpolymer with Ethylene, vinyl acetate and trimethylsilyl-protected methyl vinyl glycolate (Sample E2)

5 g trimethylsilyl-protected methyl vinyl glycolate, 15 g vinyl acetate, 80 g dimethyl carbonate and 0.1 g of azobisisobutyronitrile were added to a 300 mL Parr reactor. The reactor was sealed and flushed three times with 1000 psi pressure of nitrogen while stirring. The system was then heated, at 70° C. at an Ethylene pressure of 1200 psi and allowed to stir for the desired time. The reaction mixture was collected and the reactor was washed with THF at 60° C. The solvent in the reaction mixture and wash was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting polymer was dissolved in THF and precipitated into cold methanol, then vacuum filtered.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
