RT Journal Article T1 Physicochemical Characterization of a Cellulosic Film Modified with Two Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids A1 Martinez de Yuso, Maria del Valle A1 Cuevas, Ana Laura A1 Benavente-Herrera, Juana K1 Optica electrónica AB Changes in the physicochemical characteristics of a regenerated cellulose (RC) film due to a surface modification with room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are determined. Two ILs (1-butyl-3-metylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride) were selected, and film surface modification was performed by a dip-coating process (1 h) in the corresponding IL. The surface characterization of the RC/IL films was carried out by XPS at various take-off angles (from 15° to 75°), while the modification of mechanical properties was established by tensile analysis, obtaining a significant increase for the Young modulus of both RC/IL films when compared with the RC-support. Optical characteristics of the RC/IL films were determined by transmittance and reflectance measurements for wavelengths covering visible and near-infrared regions, while impedance spectroscopy (IS) measurements allow us to estimate the electrical changes in the RC/IL films. These results show the high transmittance of both RC/IL films (>90%) with slight differences depending on the IL in both optical regions, while the IS data analysis indicated a conductivity reduction and dielectric constant increase in the dielectric constant for both eco-friendly RC/IL films PB IOAP-MPDI YR 2022 FD 2022-10-13 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/25814 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/25814 LA eng NO Yuso MdVMd, Cuevas AL, Benavente J.
