Abstract: Hot melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives may comprise highly-plasticized cellulose esters, e.g., a cellulose ester and a plasticizer, the plasticizer included in an amount of about 30% to about 60% by weight of the adhesive. A highly-plasticized cellulose ester adhesive may be utilized in a sheet form by disposing the adhesive sheet between a first surface and a second surface; and heating the adhesive sheet so as to adhere the first surface to the second surface.

Abstract: Hot melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives may comprise highly-plasticized cellulose esters, e.g., a cellulose ester and a plasticizer, the plasticizer included in an amount of about 30% to about 60% by weight of the cellulose ester. A highly-plasticized cellulose ester adhesive that is non-tacky at room temperature may be utilized by heating an adhesive to yield an adhesive melt, the adhesive comprising a cellulose ester and a plasticizer, the plasticizer included in an amount of about 15% to about 60% by weight of the adhesive; applying the adhesive melt to a first surface; and adhering a second surface to the first surface with the adhesive.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a thermoplastic cellulosic composition for preparing a cellulose-based masterbatch and/or a fiber with an improved breaking elongation. In one example, the thermoplastic cellulosic composition includes an esterified cellulose present in a range of about 77 wt % to about 95 wt %, polyethylene glycol present in a range of about 4.5 wt % to about 15 wt %, a bifunctional reactant present in a range of about 0.01 wt % to about 3 wt %, an initiator present in a range of about 0.01 wt % to about 0.15 wt %, and a dispersing agent present in a range of about 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt %.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for optimizing the fragrance of a scented cellulosic.

Abstract: A cellulose acylate-based dope, which has an exothermic peak giving a calorific value of 1 to 10 J/g (inclusive), between 0 and 40° C.; wherein collected wastes of cellulose acylate which are obtained by collecting and crushing a cellulose acylate film edge trimmed when raw material of the film is cast, are used in an amount of 5 to 60% by weight of the whole of the cellulose acylate or; wherein the dope comprises a solvent, wherein a recovery solvent is used in an amount of 20 to 100% of the entire solvent and; a cellulose acylate film produced by using the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method of solvent-free water-dispersible hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate nanoparticle, and more particularly, to a preparation method of solvent-free water-dispersible hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate nanoparticle, which is environment-friendly and advantageous in disintegration and dissolution when used as an enteric coating material, which is prepared by obtaining suitable hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP) particle through aqueous emulsification process and regulating content of remaining electrolyte through ion exchange process.
