Abstract: Dissolution of cellulose in urea/caprolactam/NaOH aqueous and the performance of regenerated cellulose were discussed. The best ratio of urea/caprolactam/NaOH in solution was found by orthogonal design(wt): urea10%, caprolactam4%, NaOH8%. The both original cellulose and regenerated cellulose from urea/caprolactam/NaOH aqueous were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Results show that the novel system is a good direct cellulose solution. The solubility cellulose in urea/caprolactam/NaOH aqueous was better at lower temperature. The crystal of regenerated cellulose has changed and the thermostability of regenerated cellulose slightly decreased.

Key words: urea/caprolactam/NaOH, cellulose, solubility
