Soy lecithin (SL)-modifiedcellulose acetate (L-CA) fibers for use as a novel biomimic material wereprepared by a dry-jet wet spinning process from a solution of the polymer indioxin. Characteristics of the L-CA fibers, such as structural properties, waterabsorbance, electrical conductivity and accumulation of trace persistentorganic pollutants (POPs), were examined. Cross-sectional scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM) of L-CA unveiled a finger-like structure, along with a thindense surface layer like that of CA. On the basis of X-ray photoelectronspectroscopic (XPS) observations, it was concluded that the enhancement ofbinding energy was optimum with 10% SL in the fiber, whereas superfluous SL ledto self-assembly between the SL molecules, which weakened the binding betweenthe SL and CA. Also, the L-CA fibers showed good water absorbance and a lowcharge conductivity in comparison to that of the non-modified CA fibers.Examination of the ability to accumulate POPs from water showed that L-CA is aeffective candidate for the removal of micropollutants from aqueous solution.
