Abstract
In this study cellulose was obtained from pistachio shell and utilized to synthesize carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Synthesized CMC was used to prepare a CMC film. Pistachio pulp was converted to CMC by etherification using sodium monochloroacetate and sodium hydroxide and yield was found approximately 80%. Isolated cellulose, CMC and film were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Mechanical tests showed that the prepared film has a tensile strength of 1.714 MPa. Index Terms—Carboxymethyl cellulose, Cellulose, Film.
