CELLULOSE ACETATE AND EPOXY RESIN BLEND ULTRAFILTRATION MEMBRANES: REPARATION,CHARACTERIZATION, AND APPLICATION

ABSTRACT

Membranes based on cellulose acetate used in ultrafiltration applications lack good, chemical, mechanical and thermal resistance. In order to prepare membranes with improved properties, modification of cellulose acetate with epoxy resin through solution blending was attempted. In the present work, the membrane casting solutions with different polymer blend compositions of cellulose acetate and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) were prepared at 30±2°C. The maximum percent compatibility of the two polymers, cellulose acetate and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, was estimated to be 60/40%. Ultrafiltration blend membranes based on various blend compositions were prepared, characterized in terms of compaction, pure water flux, water content, membrane hydraulic resistance and molecular weight cut-off. The application of these membranes, in rejection of proteins of various molecular weights, are discussed.     

Modifying bacterial cellulose with gelatin peptides for improved rehydration

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a nanoscale and useful biomaterial with a fine fiber network and high water holding capacity. However, dried BC exhibits poor rehydration ability. The present study investigated the rehydration ability of composites of hydrolyzed gelatin peptides (HGP) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose-modified BC (HBC). The HGP with molecular weights <9 kDa were obtained by hydrolyzing gelatin with a combination of 1 % alcalase and 1.5 % pronase E at 50 °C for 2 h. The HGP/HBC nanocomposites exhibited higher rehydration ratios than composites prepared with gelatin. According to SEM images, gelatin and HGP successfully penetrated the cellulose network in composite films prepared using both immersion and adsorption (DA) methods. The high hydrophilic property of HGP resulted in a rehydration ratio of approximately 180 % at a HGP/HBC ratio of 4.5:1 (W/W) in DA composites. The 1 min rehydrated HGP/HBC composites possessed similar mechanical properties to the original wet type composites. Overall, results indicated that the HGP/HBC composites prepared using the DA method demonstrated the highest rehydration ability among the composite films evaluated.

Highly flexible, transparent cellulose composite films used in UV imprint lithography

Highly flexible, optically transparent epoxy resin/cellulose composites were prepared by using the solution impregnation method firstly and then thermal cured. The composite contained 60 wt% resin was still mechanically stable and flexible, and it integrated the merits of cellulose and resin, but the highly hydrophilic behavior of cellulose has been reduced. Contact angle measurements with water demonstrated that the composite films had obvious hydrophobic properties, and a decrease in the water uptake and the permeability towards water vapor gas was also observed. The transmittance of the composite films at 550 nm was about 85–88 %. The thermal and mechanical properties of the composite films were improved. Moreover, the composite films could be used in UV imprint lithography for circuit, and the definition could be compared with that of widely used glass plate.     

A small-angle neutron scattering and rheology study of the composite of chitosan and gelatin

The composite chitosan/gelatin solutions and films formed from these solutions were studied by rheological measurements, SANS and tensile tests. The relationship between the inter-molecule interactions with microstructure, rheological behaviour of a solution and eventually the mechanical performance of formed films was established. It was found that the complex formed between chitosan and gelatin was mainly through hydrogen bond but the size of the structure was also affected by electrostatic repulsions. The local structure (correlation length) and the global structure (large inhomogeneous structure size) in the composite solutions were found to be highly correlated to each other. It was also found that the interactions between these two polymers in solution were closely related to the mechanical properties of the formed films. This work will enable one to design films with desired mechanical properties through the combination of different polymers at optimum weight ratios.     

Development of Gelatin‐Alginate Hydrogels for Burn Wound Treatment

Hydrogels are interesting as wound dressing for burn wounds to maintain a moist environment. Especially gelatin and alginate based wound dressings show strong potential. Both polymers are modified by introducing photocrosslinkable functionalities and combined to hydrogel films (gel‐MA/alg‐MA). In one protocol gel‐MA films are incubated in alg‐MA solutions and crosslinked afterward into double networks. Another protocol involves blending both and subsequent photocrosslinking. The introduction of alginate into the gelatin matrix results in phase separation with polysaccharide microdomains in a protein matrix. Addition of alg(‐MA) to gel‐MA leads to an increased swelling compared to 100% gelatin and similar to the commercial Aquacel Ag dressing. In vitro tests show better cell adhesion for films which have a lower alginate content and also have superior mechanical properties. The hydrogel dressings exhibit good biocompatibility with adaptable cell attachment properties. An adequate gelatin‐alginate ratio should allow application of the materials as wound dressings for several days without tissue ingrowth.     

Biodegradable Dual-Network Cellulosic Composite Bioplastic Metafilm for Plastic Substitute

With the escalating environmental and health concerns over petroleum-based plastics, sustainable and biodegradable cellulosic materials are a promising alternative to plastics, yet remain unsatisfied properties such as fragility, inflammability and water sensitivity for practical usage. Herein, we present a novel dual-network design strategy to address these limitations and fabricate a high-performance cellulosic composite bioplastic metafilm with the exceptional mechanical toughness (23.5 MJ m⁻³), flame retardance, and solvent resistance by in situ growth of cyclotriphosphazene-bridged organosilica network within bacterial cellulose matrix. The phosphorus, nitrogen-containing organosilica network, verified by the experimental and theoretical results, plays a triple action on significantly enhancing tensile strength, toughness, flame retardance and water resistance of composite bioplastic metafilm. Furthermore, cellulosic bioplastic composite metafilm demonstrates a higher maximum usage temperature (245 °C), lower thermal expansion coefficient (15.19 ppm °C⁻¹), and better solvent resistance than traditional plastics, good biocompatibility and natural biodegradation. Moreover, the composite bioplastic metafilm have a good transparency of average 74 % and a high haze over 80 %, which can serve as an outstanding substrate substitute for commercial polyethylene terephthalate film to address the demand of flexible ITO films. This work paves a creative way to design and manufacture the competitive bioplastic composite to replace daily-used plastics.     

Cellulose–halloysite nanotube composite hydrogels for curcumin delivery

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were added to cellulose NaOH/urea solution to prepare composite hydrogels using epichlorhydrine crosslinking at an elevated temperature. The shear viscosity, mechanical properties, microstructure, swelling properties, cytocompatibility, and drug delivery behavior of the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels were investigated. The viscosity of the composite solution increases with the addition of HNT. The compressive mechanical properties of composite hydrogels are significantly improved compared with pure cellulose hydrogel. The compressive strength of the composite hydrogels with 66.7% HNTs is 128 kPa, while that of pure cellulose hydrogel is only 29.8 kPa in compressive strength. Rheological measurement suggests the resistance to deformation is improved for composite hydrogels. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy show that the crystal structure and chemical structure of HNT are not changed in the composite hydrogels. Hydrogen bonding interactions between HNT and cellulose exist in the composites. A porous structure of the composite hydrogels with pore size of 200–400 μm was found by scanning electron microscopy. The addition of HNT leads to decreased swelling ratios in NaCl solution and pure water for the composite hydrogels. Cytotoxicity assays show that the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels have a good biocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 cells and MCF-7 cells. Curcumin is further loaded into the composite hydrogel via physical adsorption. The curcumin-loaded composite hydrogels show a strong inhibition effect on the cancer cells. All the results illustrate that the cellulose/HNT composite hydrogels have promising applications such as anticancer drug delivery systems and anti-inflammatory wound dressings.     

Characteristics of composite films based on methyl cellulose and poly(N-vinylformamide) prepared from solutions in water and dimethyl sulfoxide

The stress-strain characteristics of composite films based on methyl cellulose and poly(vinylformamide) prepared from solutions of polymer blends in water and dimethyl sulfoxide are studied. The temperature of relaxation transitions in the mixed films and the concentration interval where the polymers are compatible are defined via the thermomechanical method and dynamic mechanical analysis. The effect of the nature of a solvent on the mechanism of crystallization of methyl cellulose, the stress—strain characteristics of the composite films, and the compatibility between the polymers is investigated.     

Effects of polymer concentration and coagulation temperature on the properties of regenerated cellulose films prepared from LiOH/urea solution

Aqueous 5 wt% LiOH/12 wt% urea solution pre-cooled to −12 °C has a more powerful ability to dissolve cellulose compared to that of NaOH/urea and NaOH/thiourea solution system. The influences of the cellulose concentration and coagulation temperature on the structure, pore size and mechanical properties of the cellulose films prepared from LiOH/urea system were investigated. The cellulose films exhibited good mechanical properties either at wet or dry state and their pore size and water permeability at wet state can be controlled by changing the cellulose concentration or coagulation temperature. With a decrease of the coagulation temperature, the mechanical properties and optical transmittance of the cellulose films enhanced, as a result of the formation of relative smaller pore size and denser structures. This work provided a promising way to prepare cellulose films with different pore sizes at wet state and good physical properties at dry state.
