The present invention relates to a method of pulping cotton-based raw material for producing dissolving pulp. More specifically, the invention relates to a process for producing dissolving pulp under alkaline conditions in combination with a gaseous oxidizing agent. The present invention further relates to dissolving pulp obtainable by pulping cotton-based raw material, in particular dissolving pulp obtainable by the method of the present invention, the use of such dissolving pulp for producing regenerated cellulose molded bodies, and methods of producing lyocell or viscose including such dissolving pulp.

A coating material is allowed to contain a sulfate having a higher degree of solubility in water than that of calcium sulfate. The sulfate is an additive for coating materials which is used for reducing the consumption of zinc (including zinc oxide) in a coating film formed from the coating material and the corrosion of a base material when the coating film is scratched. The content of the sulfate can be 0.004 to 0.65 mol per 100 g of the content of zinc. Alternatively, the content of the sulfate may be 0.006 to 0.186 mol per 100 g of a heating residue (except for the sulfate added) of a coating film.

Disclosed are a scratch-proof TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) cutting board having increased wear resistance and no toxicity and a method of manufacturing the same, the method according to a preferred embodiment including (1) weighing 72 wt % of TPU, 25 wt % of magnesium sulfate, and 3 wt % of a dispersant, (2) placing the materials weighed in step (1) in a mixing tank and performing mixing with stirring for 40 min, (3) placing the mixed materials in a dryer and performing drying at 80° C. for 3 hr, and (4) placing the dried materials in an injection-molding machine and performing injection molding, whereby the molecular cohesion of TPU and magnesium sulfate is enhanced, whereby the final TPU cutting board has greatly increased wear resistance and friction resistance and is non-toxic, and surface scratches do not occur due to a cutting process when using the cutting board, thereby preventing discoloration of the surface of the cutting board.

Hydrogel compositions, and corresponding methods of making, are provided. The hydrogels do not freeze, or only partially freeze, over a wide range of temperatures below the freezing temperature of water. Concurrently, these hydrogels also retain their room temperature mechanical properties (e.g., strength, modulus, elasticity) over a wide range of temperatures, including temperatures below the freezing temperature of water. The hydrogels are synthesized by adding a suitable amount of a salt together with previously cross-linked polymer gel. Hydration of the gel with aqueous solutions containing the prescribed salts not only depresses the hydrogel freezing point but protects the structure. For example, the salts do not allow the hydrogel to completely freeze, thus protecting the hydrogel from brittle failure. Whether the hydrogels partially freeze or remain non-frozen when chilled below the freezing temperature of water is determined by concentration of salt within the hydrogel.
