Surface modification of cotton nanocrystals with a silane agent

The research herewith aims at obtaining cellulose nanocrystals with a reduced hydrophilic surface character using a silane with isocyanate groups (isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane), which are very reactive to hydroxyl groups and thus, are readily able to react with the low quantity of free hydroxyl groups present in the cellulose nanocrystal surfaces, therefore, promoting surface modification. Cellulose nanocrystals were obtained by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of cotton fiber and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and solid state ²⁹Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and their morphologies were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The nanocrystals presented a needle-like geometry with a 10 nm approximate diameter and a 166 nm average length. FTIR, ²⁹Si NMR and silicon mapping images showed that nanocrystal surface chemical modification was successfully achieved. Also, the results confirm that the chemical modification occurred mainly at the nanocrystal surface, keeping the morphological integrity of the nanocrystals. The applied methodology for surface modification of the cellulose nanocrystals provided nanofillers with more appropriate surface characteristics that allow the dispersion in polymeric matrices and the adhesion at filler-matrix interface to be obtained. This may result in a better performance of these nanocrystals as reinforcing agents of hydrophobic polymer matrices.     

Extraction and Characterization of Cellulose Nanowhiskers from Balsa Wood

Summary: In this study cellulose nanowhiskers were obtained from balsa wood. For this purpose, fibers of balsa wood were exposed to hydrolysis reactions for lignin and hemicellulose digestion and acquisition of nano-scale cellulose. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results demonstrated that the obtained cellulose nanocrystals had average length and thickness of 176 (±68 nm) and 7.5 (±2.9 nm), respectively. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) showed that the process for extracting the nanowhiskers digested nearly all the lignin and hemicellulose from the balsa fiber and still preserved the aspect ratio and crystallinity satisfactory enough for future application as nanofillers in polymer nanocomposites. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the onset temperature of thermal degradation of the cellulose nanocrystals (226 °C) was higher than the onset temperature of the balsa fiber (215 °C), allowing its use in molding processes with polymers melts.     

Synthesis,morphology, and properties of waterborne m-TMXDI-based anionic polyurethane and hybrids

In this study, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) hybrid emulsions with a weight ratio of 2/1 were prepared by emulsion polymerization using a mixture of styrene (St) and/or butyl acrylate (BA) monomers with WPU dispersion. WPU dispersion was synthesized with isocyanic acid and m-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate (m-TMXDI)-based anionic poly(urethane-urea) dispersions using the prepolymer mixing process. The structures of WPU and hybrids were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The size and morphology of the latex particles were investigated using dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The stability of the emulsions was determined according to their shelf life and particle size using the dispersion analyser LUMiSizer® with STEP?-Technology. The thermal and mechanical properties of these films were examined by thermogravimetric analysis and strain-stress curves.     

Hydrogen bonding,mechanical properties,and surface morphology of clay/waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites

A novel clay/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) nanocomposite was synthesized from polyurethane and saponite organoclay. The clay was organically modified with various swelling agents, the effect of which has been investigated. Hydrogen bonding between organic and inorganic materials was characterized with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results implied that hydrogen bonding increased when organoclay was added. Mechanical and wear property studies revealed that introducing clay into waterborne polyurethane will enhance the Young's modulus (from 56 to 126 MPa), the maximum stress (from 3.9 to 7.6 MPa), and the elongation at break (from 27.7 to 58.7%) of the nanocomposite by a factor of two, whereas the wear loss will be only one third of the neat waterborne polyurethane. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the surface morphology of the nanocomposite. An AFM microphotograph showed that the surface of the clay/waterborne polyurethane nanocomposite was smoother when clay was added in waterborne polyurethane. The average roughness (R_a) decreased from 1.00 to 0.12. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 1–12, 2005     

Investigation of ultraviolet curable waterborne polyurethane acrylate dispersion based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene

A new kind of ultraviolet (UV) curable waterborne polyurethane acrylate dispersion was synthesized based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), poly-(propylene glycol) (PPG), isophorene diisocyanate (IPDI), 2-hydroxy ethyl acrylate (HEA) and dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) after neutralizing by triethylamine (TEA). 2-Hydroxy-1-[4-2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl]-2-methyl-1-propanone (Irgacure 2959) was used as a photoinitiator and deionized water as a diluent. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis was used to identify the chain structure of the UV-curable polyurethane prepolymer based on HTPB and the curing process. Effects of relative content of HTPB and PPG on emulsion stability, resistance to water and ethanol, thermal stability, compatibility of soft and hard segment, as well as the mechanical property of the cured film were investigated.

Influence of cellulose nanowhiskers on the hydrolytic degradation behavior of poly(d,l-lactide)

This paper reports the preparation of bionanocomposites based on poly(d,l-lactide) and cellulose nanowhiskers (PDLLA/CNWs) and studies the influence of the CNWs on the hydrolytic degradation behavior of the polylactide. The hydrolytic degradation process was studied in a phosphate buffer medium through the sample weight loss and also by FTIR, DSC and TGA measurements. The presence of CNWs induced a strong delay in the hydrolytic degradation of the PDLLA, even when the concentration of the nanofillers was only 1%. This effect was related to the physical barrier created by the highly crystalline CNWs that inhibited water absorption and hence retarded the hydrolytic degradation of the bionanocomposites. In addition, the incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals in the PDLLA also made the biopolymer more thermally stable, increasing the initial temperature of mass loss even after the degradation in phosphate medium. The results presented here show the possibility of controlling the biodegradability and prolonging the service life of a polylactide through the incorporation of a small quantity of nanofillers obtained from renewable materials.

Chemical hybridization of imidized waterborne polyurethane with silica particle

Chemical hybrids of imidized waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with silica nanoparticle were synthesized by UV cure. Imide groups were introduced into the hard segment of UV curable WPU by extending the NCO-terminated prepolymers with pyromellitic dianhydride where chemical hybridization by UV cure was made between the acrylate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer and vinyltrimethoxysilane-silica oligomer. It was found that imidization of WPU and imidized WPU-silica hybrids showed remarkably high mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures as well as thermal stability.     

Synthesis and characterization of polyurethane–urea nanoparticles containing methylenedi‐p‐phenyl diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate

Water‐based polyurethane–urea (WPUU) nanoparticles containing 4,4′‐methylenedi‐p‐phenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) were synthesized by a stepwise prepolymer mixing process, that is, the consecutive formation of hydroxyl‐terminated and isocyanate‐terminated polyurethane prepolymers. The reaction behavior, chemical structure, and consequent morphology of the polyurethane prepolymers and WPUU were investigated with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography, and NMR techniques with MDI concentrations ranging from 0 (pure IPDI) to 50% with respect to the total moles of isocyanate. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry patterns showed that the crystallinity of WPUU, which mostly originated from crystallizable poly(tetramethylene adipate) polyol, was significantly affected by the MDI content. Both the crystallinity and melting temperature of WPUU decreased as the MDI content increased. Deconvoluted relative peak areas of the carbonyl region in the FTIR spectrum revealed that the effect of hydrogen bonding among the hard segments became favorable as the MDI content increased, whereas the hydrogen bonding of the soft segments significantly decreased. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermally-activated shape memory behaviour of bionanocomposites reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals

Bionanocomposites with thermally-activated shape memory ability have been designed based on a synthesized poly(ester-urethane) matrix reinforced with both neat and functionalized cellulose nanocrystals. The functionalization of the cellulose nanocrystals was performed by grafting poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) chains onto their surface. The matrix has a block copolymer structure of two biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and PLLA. This research is focused on the effects of cellulose nanofillers on the thermally-activated shape memory response of the neat matrix confirming that the bionanocomposites are able to show shape memory effects at 35 °C, close to the human body temperature, making these materials good candidates for biomedical applications. Three thermo-mechanical cycles at 50 % of deformation were performed in order to check the thermally-activated shape memory ability of the bionanocomposites and to determine the shape memory parameters, namely the strain fixity (R_f), and the strain recovery (R_r) ratio. Both bionanocomposites, with neat and functionalized cellulose nanocrystals, present excellent shape memory behaviour maintaining the recovery behaviour at values of about 90 % as measured previously for the pure matrix, indicating that the addition of the nanofiller maintains the good ability to recover the initial shape of the matrix. The cellulose nanofillers clearly improve the ability of the polymer to fix the temporary shape. In fact, the bionanocomposites show R_f at about 90 %. Moreover, bionanocomposites reinforced with the functionalized cellulose nanocrystals maintain constant their performance during all the thermo-mechanical cycles thus confirming that the improvement in the shape memory behaviour can be mainly attributed to the increase of the interactions between the functionalized cellulose nanocrystals with the polymeric matrix.

Effects of Various Factors on the Modification of Carbon Nanotubes with Polyvinyl Alcohol in Supercritical CO2 and Their Application in Electrospun Fibers

Supercritical（SC） CO2 anti-solvent induced polymer epitaxy（SAIPE） method was used to help prepare nanohybrid carbon nanotubes（CNTs） wrapped with polyvinyl alcohol（PVA） nanocrystals.With the variation of a series of experimental conditions or peripheral effects,such as PVA concentration,CNTs concentration,and SC CO2 pressure,the optimal experimental variables for PVA-nanocrystals growing on CNTs have been found.The adsorption of polymer on CNTs via multiple weak molecular interactions has been studied by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.The mechanism about the formation of PVA nanocrystals on CNTs can be suggested through the experimental phenomena.These CNTs wrapped with PVA nanocrystals can be directly used as nanofillers to fabricate PVA composite fibers reinforced with CNTs by electrospinning.     

Insight into the extraction and characterization of cellulose nanocrystals from date pits

This study aims to extract and characterize cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from date pits (DP), an agricultural solid waste. Two methods were used and optimized for the cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extraction, namely the mechanical stirrer method (CNCs₁) and the Soxhlet apparatus method (CNCs₂) in terms of chemical used, cost, and energy consumption. The results showed that scanning electron microscopy revealed the difference in the morphology as they exhibit rough surfaces with irregular morphologies due to the strong chemical treatments during the delignification and bleaching process. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy analysis for CNCs reveals the true modification that was made through sulfuric acid hydrolysis as it presents cellulose microfibrils with a packed structure. Fourier transform infrared proved that the CNCs were successfully extracted using the two methods since most of the lignin and hemicellulose components were removed. The crystallinity index of CNCs₁ and CNCs₂ was 69.99%, and 67.79%, respectively, and both presented a high yield of CNCs (≥10%). Ultimately, both techniques were successful at extracting CNCs. Based on their cost-effectiveness and time consumption, it was concluded that method 1 was less expensive than method 2 based on the breakdown of the cost of each step for CNCs production.
