Title: Innovations of Theo Van De Ven in Absorbent Fibres
Introduction
Theo Van De Ven is an accomplished inventor based in Montreal, Canada. He is known for his innovative work in the field of absorbent materials. His research has led to the development of novel absorbent fibres that have significant applications in various industries.
Latest Patents
Theo Van De Ven holds a patent for "Absorbent fibres produced from low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose and the process thereof." This invention relates to the creation of absorbent fibres or filaments derived from low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The production method involves wet spinning, where the spinning dope consists entirely of low-substituted carboxymethyl cellulose dissolved in sodium hydroxide. The resulting CMC filaments exhibit a degree of substitution ranging from 0.10 to 0.35 and a degree of polymerization between 250 and 650, with 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.
