Conversion of Cellulose and Lignin Residues into Transparent UV-Blocking Composite Films

The valorization of cellulose and lignin residues in an integrated biorefinery is of great significance to improve the overall economics but has been challenged by their structural recalcitrance, especially for lignin residue. In this work, a facile chemical conversion route to fabricating functional UV-blocking cellulose/lignin composite films through a facile dissolution–regeneration process using these biomass residues was proposed. Three representative lignin residues, i.e., aspen and poplar wood lignin, and corn stover (CS) lignin were assessed for their feasibility for the film fabrication. The UV-blocking performance of the composite films were comparatively investigated. Results showed that all these three lignin residues could enhance the UV-blocking property of the composite films, corresponding to the reduction in the optical energy band gap from 4.31 to 3.72 eV, while poplar lignin had a considerable content of chromophores and showed the best UV-blocking enhancement among these three assessing lignins. The enhancement of UV-blocking property was achieved without compromising the visible-light transparency, mechanical strength and thermal stability of the composite films even at 4% lignin loading. This work showed the high promise of integrating biomass residue conversion into lignocellulose biorefinery for a multi-production purpose.     

Properties of poly(vinyl chloride)/wood flour/montmorillonite composites: Effects of coupling agents and layered silicate

Organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT) was prepared using cetylalkyl trimethyl amine bromide. OMMT and wood flour (WF) were surface-modified by silane coupling agent. They were melt-blended with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and extruded into wood-plastic composite samples using one conical twin screw extruder. The effects of their contents on the composite mechanical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy observed intercalation and dispersion of the OMMT. FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to analyze the silane-modification effects. The possible reaction mechanisms were proposed. After wood flour was modified by 1.5 phr silane, the impact strength and the tensile strength of wood flour-PVC composite were increased by 14.8% and 18.5%, respectively. Mechanical tests showed that the addition of OMMT did not enhance the untreated wood flour-PVC composites. However, adding 0.5% OMMT did improve the mechanical properties of the treated ones. The grafting improved the interfacial compatibility between components producing higher properties of the composites. Further addition of OMMT reinforced the composites. Too higher contents of silane and OMMT impaired some properties because of weak interfacial layer and higher concentrated stress. Cone calorimetry showed that the fire flame retardancy and smoke suppression of composites were strongly improved with the addition of OMMT.     

Enhanced surface free energy of UHMWPE fibers and its interfacial adhesion behavior to PI resins

Mechanical properties of composites made up of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, polyimide (PI), and TiO₂ particles were investigated. The hybrid composite of 20 vol% of UHMWPE fiber with TiO₂ showed tensile strength greater than UHMWPE fiber/PI composite. A positive hybrid effect in tensile strength is obtained. It is observed that addition of small amount of TiO₂ to UHMWPE fiber/PI increased the tensile strength of the composite by 28%. With increase in TiO₂ loading to 1 to 3 vol%, the impact strength of the hybrid composite is increased from 55 KJ/m² to 69 KJ/m². This maximum value is more than one and a half times greater than the impact strength of neat UHMWPE fiber/PI composite.     

Properties of Aqueous Polyurethane Dispersion Modified by Epoxide Resin and Their Use as Adhesive

The aqueous polyurethane hybrid dispersion modified by the epoxy resin were synthesized using 1,4-butanediol ( BDO ) and dimethylolpropionic(DMPA) as chain extenders. A kind of automobile interior decoration adhesive was made by the modified hybrid dispersions. Effects of the content and the kinds of epoxide resin on the properties of dispersions and dispersion-cast films such as appearance, pot life, viscosity, particle size, molecular mass, hardness, swelling in water, contact angle, strength of stress, elongation at break, and other mechanical properties were studied. At the same time the effect of the E20 content on the peel strength of the adhesive for several automobile interior decoration substrates such as rubber/wood, poly(vinyl chloride)/wood; leather/wood, sponge/wood was investigated. The experimental results show that when the epoxy resin E20 content was 8%, the modified polyurethane hybrid dispersions possess better properties and the adhesive made by the modified dispersions posses better adhesion for automobile interior decoration substrates. The stress-strain curve of the modified aqueous polyurethane hybrid dispersions films shows the modified aqueous cast films possess better rigidity and toughness.     

Preservation of beech and spruce wood by allyl alcohol-based copolymers

Allyl alcohol (AA), acrylonitrile (AN), methyl methacrylate (MMA), monomers and monomer mixtures AA+AN, AA+MMA were used to conserve and consolidate Beech and Spruce. After impregnation, copolymerisation and polymerisation were accomplished by gamma irradiation. The fine structure of wood+polymer(copolymer) composites was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was observed that copolymer obtained from AA+MMA monomer mixture showed the optimum compatibility. The compressional strength and Brinell Hardness Numbers determined for untreated and treated wood samples indicated that the mechanical strength of wood+copolymer composites was increased. It was found that the mechanical strength of the wood samples containing the AA+MMA copolymer was higher than the others. In the presence of P(AA/MMA), at highest conversion, the compressive strength perpendicular to the fibres in Beech and Spruce increased approximately 100 times. The water uptake capacity of wood+copolymer composites was observed to decrease by more than 50% relative to the original samples, and biodegradation did not take place.     

Effect of different ionic layered compounds decorated with zinc hydroxystannate on flame retardancy and smoke performance of epoxy resin

ZHS@ Mg‐Al‐LDH and ZHS@α‐ZrP hybrid materials were prepared by electrostatically loading zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) on the layered compounds (Mg‐Al‐LDH and α‐ZrP) in this work. With the addition of 2 wt% of the two hybrid materials to epoxy resin (EP), respectively, the fire hazard of EP and its composites were investigated. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of ZHS@ Mg‐Al‐LDH/EP composite increased by 19.0% compared with pure EP, while its peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release rate (THR), and peak smoke release rate (SPR) decreased by 48.2%, 20.8%, and 21.6%, respectively, evidenced by the results of the LOI test and cone calorimetry test (CCT). The LOI of ZHS@α‐ZrP/EP composite increased by 20.4%, and its PHRR, THR, and SPR decreased by 47.7%, 21.4%, and 27.1%, respectively. Both hybrid materials showed prominent flame retardant and smoke suppressing properties. In addition, through the analysis of the TG‐IR and Raman spectrum of residual char, the specific mechanism of flame retardance and smoke suppression was explored.     

Epoxy‐based composite adhesives: Effect of hybrid fillers on thermal conductivity,rheology, and lap shear strength

Thermal management is an important parameter in an electronic packaging application. In this work, three different types of fillers such as natural graphite powder (Gr) of 50‐μm particle size, boron nitride powder (h‐BN) of 1‐μm size, and silver flakes (Ag) of 10‐μm particle size were used for thermal conductivity enhancement of neat epoxy resin. The thermal properties, rheology, and lap shear strength of the neat epoxy and its composite were investigated. The analysis showed that the loading of different wt% of Gr‐based fillers can effectively increase the thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin. It has also been observed that the thermal conductivity of the hybrid filler (Gr/h‐BN/Ag) reinforced epoxy adhesive composite increased six times greater than that of neat epoxy resin composite. Further, the viscosity of hybrid filler reinforced epoxy resin was found to be increased as compared with its virgin counterpart. The adhesive composite with optimized filler content was then subsequently subjected to determine single lap shear strength. The degree of filler dispersion and alignment in the matrix were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis.     

Highly improved mechanical strength of aramid paper composite via a bridge of cellulose nanofiber

A novel aramid paper composite based on pretreated meta-aramid fiber via the addition of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) was fabricated, and the mechanical strength and interfacial strength of the aramid paper composite were investigated. The results indicated that modified fibers showed higher roughness and more available hydrophilic groups. Besides, compared with the pristine aramid paper, it turned out that the tensile index, tear index and interlayer bonding strength of the paper composites with CNF increased by 2.04 times, 2.36 times and 3 times, respectively. In addition, tensile energy absorption (TEA) was also improved by an increment of 99.7% with 20 wt% CNF. These apparent evidences can be accounted for the following mechanisms. On the one hand, enhanced mechanical properties of aramid paper composite were derived from the strong hydrogen bonding or dipole–dipole coupling interaction between aramid fiber and CNF. On the other hand, significant reinforcement of interlayer bonding strength can be attributed to the pivotal bonding bridge and filling agent between aramid chopped fibers (ACFs) and fibrid, which could improve interfacial adhesion of paper sheet. The thin film structure like “spider web” or “silk” from SEM images indicated the CNF was used as a bridge actually.     

Oxidative lime pretreatment of high-lignin biomass

Lime (Ca[OH]₂) and oxygen (O₂) were used to enhance the enzymatic digestibility of two kinds of high-lignin biomass: poplar wood and newspaper. The recommended pretreatment conditions for poplar wood are 150°C, 6 h, 0.1 g of Ca(OH)₂/g of dry biomass, 9 mL of water/g of dry biomass, 14.0 bar absolute oxygen, and a particle size of −10 mesh. Under these conditions, the 3-d reducing sugar yield of poplar wood using a cellulase loading of 5 filter paper units (FPU)/g of raw dry biomass increased from 62 to 565 mg of eq. glucose/g of raw dry biomass, and the 3-d total sugar (glucose + xylose) conversion increased from 6 to 77% of raw total sugars. At high cellulase loadings (e.g., 75 FPU/g of raw dry biomass), the 3-d total sugar conversion reached 97%. In a trial run with newspaper, using conditions of 140°C, 3 h, 0.3 g of Ca(OH)₂/g of dry biomass, 16 mL of water/g of dry biomass, and 7.1 bar absolute oxygen, the 3-d reducing sugar yield using a cellulase loading of 5 FPU/g of raw dry biomass increased from 240 to 565 mg of eq. glucose/g of raw dry biomass. A material balance study on poplar wood shows that oxidative lime pretreatment solubilized 38% of total biomass, including 78% of lignin and 49% of xylan; no glucan was removed. Ash increased because calcium was incorporated into biomass during the pretreatment. After oxidative lime pretreatment, about 21% of added lime could be recovered by CO₂ carbonation.
