Title: Innovations of Alois Vanerek in Absorbent Fibres
Introduction
Alois Vanerek is an innovative inventor based in Montreal, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of absorbent materials, particularly through his patented invention involving absorbent fibres produced from low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose.
Latest Patents
Alois holds a patent for "Absorbent fibres produced from low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose and the process thereof." This invention relates to novel absorbent fibres and filaments created from low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose. The production method involves wet spinning, where the spinning dope consists entirely of low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose dissolved in sodium hydroxide. The resulting filaments exhibit a degree of substitution ranging from 0.10 to 0.35 and a degree of polymerization between 250 and 650, with the CMC uniformly distributed throughout the filament. The absorbency of these fibres in deionized water is 120 g/g, while in saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, it is 30 g/g. Additionally, the retention of deionized water and saline within the fibres is 48 g/g and 25 g/g, respectively.
