Abstract

The cellulosic network of artificially acidified paper has been studied by 2D NMR relaxometry, NMR diffusometry and NMR diffusion–diffraction. Results show that the acidifying treatment enlarges the macropore structure of paper increasing the pore connectivity and modifying the exchange between water populations localized in amorphous cellulose. Acidification damage suggests that simple breaking of the amorphous portion of fibrils occurs. Nevertheless, under a specific acidifying condition, a rearrangement in the cellulose network seems to take place, with a reduction of the average macropore size and a loss of pore connectivity. The identification of water populations by 2D relaxation maps allows for monitoring the changes in cellulose water mobility due to the depolymerization process. In general the relaxation and self-diffusion results confirm that water mobility increases with acidification.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
