Sugar cane bagasse and curaua lignins oxidized by chlorine dioxide and reacted with furfuryl alcohol: characterization and stability

Sugar cane bagasse and curaua acidolysis lignins were used to get a better understanding of the mechanism involved in a new chemical modification of sugar cane bagasse and curaua fibres, consisting in a selective oxidation of lignin by chlorine dioxide and reacting some of the created unsaturated units (quinones or muconic derivatives) with furfuryl alcohol (FA). The objective of the treatment was to create a fibre coating increasing...
