The heterogeneous sulfoethylation of cellulose, xylan, α-1,3-glucan, glucomannan, pullulan, curdlan, galactoglucomannan, and agarose was studied using sodium vinylsulfonate (NaVS) as reagent in presence of sodium hydroxide and iso-propanol (i-PrOH) as slurry medium. The influence of the concentration of polymer, water, and NaOH (solid or aqueous solution) on the degree of substitution (DS) was investigated. The sulfoethylation rendered the polysaccharides studied water-soluble. Sulfoethylation of heteropolysaccharides yielded products with higher DS compared to the conversion of homopolysaccharides. Structure characterization was carried out by means of C-NMR spectroscopy.

This article is focused on the research and development of new cellulose ether derivatives as innovative superplasticizers for mortar systems. Several synthetic strategies have been pursued to obtain new compounds to study their properties on cementitious systems as new bio-based additives. The new water-soluble admixtures were synthesized using a complex carboxymethylcellulose-based backbone that was first hydrolyzed and then sulfo-ethylated in the presence of sodium vinyl sulphonate.

Wood-derived nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) has long been recognized as a valuable nanomaterial for food-related applications. However, the safety of NFC cannot be predicted just from the chemical nature of cellulose, and there is a need to establish the effect of the nanofibers on the gastrointestinal tract, to reassure the safe use of NFC in food-related products. The present work selected the intestinal cells Caco-2 and the gut bacteria and to evaluate the in vitro biological response to NFC.

Sulfoethylated nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was produced by an industrially relevant process. The properties of the NFC were compared with those of carboxymethylated nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), which has been identified as an attractive NFC for several industrial applications. The investigations revealed that NFC is characterized by a higher degree of fibrillation and has superior redispersion properties.

A series of water-soluble sulfoethylated chitosans (SEC) with degrees of substitution (DS) up to 130% were obtained using a heterogeneous reaction of chitosan with sodium 2-chloroethanesulfonate in 85% isopropanol in the presence of NaOH. NMR and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that sulfoethylation of chitosan preferentially happens at hydroxyl groups and to some extent at amino groups, giving mixed substituted O,N-SEC. Chitosan shows positive birefringence, whereas SEC shows negative values, indicating self-organization in dilute solution.
