Illuminating Water States in Cellulose Fiber Structures Using Vibrational Spectroscopy, TAPPICon25

The fundamental understanding and accurate measurement of cellulose-water interactions are essential for 6 controlling the physical and chemical properties required to develop bio-based and renewable materials for various 7 industries, including chemicals, micro-devices, and consumer products. Therefore, a vibrational spectroscopy 8 technique was employed to analyze different states of water in cellulose fibers through their vibrational spectra. Free, 9 strongly hydrogen-bonded, and weakly hydrogen-bonded water populations were identified and quantified in 10 cellulosic fibers by deconvoluting their stretching vibrational responses. Furthermore, this study aims to elucidate the 11 behavior of hydrogen bond interactions in cellulose fibers at a molecular level. In summary, this spectroscopic 12 technique provides a valuable tool for evaluating the effects of different states of water and hydrogen bonding on the 13 production and performance of cellulose-based materials.
