Notes:
Trimethylammoniumhydroxypropyl (TMAHP)-cellulose in 10 anionic forms (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, HSO4-, NO3-, OH-, HCO3-, H2PO4-, CH3COO-) was prepared, and the influence of each anion on thermal degradation in inert atmosphere was studied. With the help of dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetry (TG) it was found that H2PO4- ions had the greatest retarding effect on TMAHP-cellulose degradation. From the values of rate constants it can be seen that all ionic forms of TMAHP-cellulose have the starting rate of thermal degradation greater than unmodified cellulose. The calculated values of activation energy of thermal degradation for different ionic forms are decreasing in following sequence: H2PO4- 〉 F- 〉 NO3- 〉 I- 〉 Br- 〉 HCO3- 〉 Cl- 〉 HSO4- 〉 OH- 〉 unmodified cellulose 〉 CH3COO-. From the results of pyrolyse measurements in combination with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) it follows that the products of the elimination of quarternary ammonium salts are trimethylamine, 3-hydroxy-2-propanone, and, in the case of OH- form, water. In all other ionic forms the third product is the corresponding acid.
