Hydrogen-bond-induced inclusion complex in aqueous cellulose/LiOH/urea solution at low temperature.

It was puzzling that cellulose could be dissolved rapidly in 4.6 wt % LiOH/15 wt % urea aqueous solution precooled to -12 degrees C, whereas it could not be dissolved in the same solvent without prior cooling. To clarify this important phenomenon, the structure and physical properties of LiOH and urea in water as well as of cellulose in the aqueous LiOH/urea solution at different temperatures were investigated by means of laser light scattering, 13C NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results reveal that a hydrogen-bonded network structure between LiOH, urea, and water can occur, and that it becomes more stable with decreasing temperature. The LiOH hydrates cleave the chain packing of cellulose through the formation of new hydrogen bonds at low temperatures, which result in a relatively stable complex associated with LiOH, water clusters, and cellulose. A channel inclusion complex (IC) hosted by urea could encage the cellulose macromolecule in LiOH/urea solution with prior cooling and therefore provide a rationale for forming a good dispersion of cellulose. TEM observations, for the first time, showed the channel IC in dry form. The low-temperature step played an important role in shifting hydrogen bonds between cellulose and small molecules, leading to the dissolution of macromolecules in the aqueous solution.     

Formulation and characterization of in situ generated copper nanoparticles reinforced cellulose composite films for potential antimicrobial applications

Cellulose was dissolved in aq.(LiOH + urea) solution pre-cooled to –12.5°C and the wet films were prepared using ethyl alcohol coagulation bath. The gel cellulose films were dipped in 10 wt.% Cassia alata leaf extract solution and allowed the extract to diffuse into them. The leaf extract infused wet cellulose films were dipped in different concentrated aq. copper sulphate solutions and allowed for in situ generation of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) inside the matrix. The morphological, structural, antibacterial, thermal, and tensile properties of dried cellulose/CuNP composite films were carried out. The presence of CuNPs was established by EDX spectra and X-ray diffraction. The composite films displayed higher thermal stability than the matrix due to the presence of CuNPs. Cellulose/CuNP composite films possessed better tensile strength than the matrix. The composite films showed good antibacterial activity against E.coli bacteria. We conclude that good antibacterial activity and better tensile properties of the cellulose/CuNP composite films make them suitable for antibacterial wrapping and medical purposes.     

High strength cellulose composite films reinforced with clay for applications as antibacterial materials

High strength cellulose composite films with antibacterial activities were prepared by dispersing montmorillonites (MMT) into cellulose solution in LiOH/urea aqueous solvent followed by regeneration in ethanol coagulation bath, and then by soaking in 5 wt% hexadecylpyridine bromide ethanol solutions to induce the antibacterial action. The cellulose/MMT composite films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR, UV-spectra, wide angle X-ray diffraction and mechanical test. The results revealed that MMT was dispersed well in the cellulose matrix to form layer structure with a thickness of approximately 3 nm. The mechanical properties of the cellulose/MMT composite films were significantly improved to achieve 132 MP for tensile strength as a result of the MMT delamination. The hexadecylpyridine bromide was fixed well in the cellulose/MMT matrix through cation exchange, leading to the excellent antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, which is important in their practical applications.     

Improvement of mechanical and oxygen barrier properties of cellulose films by controlling drying conditions of regenerated cellulose hydrogels

Mechanical, thermal and oxygen barrier properties of regenerated cellulose films prepared from aqueous cellulose/alkali/urea solutions can be markedly improved by controlling the drying conditions of the films. By pre-pressing followed by vacuum drying under compression, the tensile strength, Young’s modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion and oxygen permeability of the dried films reached 263 MPa, 7.3 GPa, 10.3 ppm K⁻¹ and 0.0007 ml μm m⁻² day⁻¹ kPa⁻¹, respectively. Thus, films produced in this way show the highest performance of regenerated cellulose films with no orientation of cellulose chains reported to date. These improved properties are accompanied by a clear increase in cellulose II crystallinity from 50 to 62% during pre-pressing/press-vacuum drying process. At the same time, the film density increased from 1.45 to 1.57 g cm⁻³, and the moisture content under equilibrium conditions decreased from 14.1 to 9.8%. Hence, the aqueous alkali/urea solvent system has potential applications in producing new and environmentally friendly cellulose films with high performances through control of the drying conditions.     

Properties of cellulose films prepared from NaOH/urea/zincate aqueous solution at low temperature

Cellulose films were successfully prepared from NaOH/urea/zincate aqueous solution pre-cooled to −13 °C by coagulating with 5% H₂SO₄. The cellulose solution and regenerated cellulose films were characterized with dynamic rheology, ultraviolet–visible spectroscope, scanning electron microscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, thermogravimetry and tensile testing. The results indicated that at higher temperature (above 65 °C) or lower temperature (below −10 °C) or for longer storage time, gels could form in the cellulose dope. However, the cellulose solution remained a liquid state for a long time at 0–10 °C. Moreover, there was an irreversible gelation in the cellulose solution system. The films with cellulose II exhibited better optical transmittance, high thermal stability and tensile strength than that prepared by NaOH/urea aqueous solution without zincate. Therefore, the addition of zincate in the NaOH/urea aqueous system could enhance the cellulose solubility and improve the structure and properties of the regenerated cellulose films.

Structure and properties of regenerated cellulose/tourmaline nanocrystal composite films

Nanocomposite films were successfully prepared from cellulose and tourmaline nanocrystals with mean diameters of 70 nm in a 1.5 M NaOH/0.65 M thiourea aqueous solution by coagulation with 5 wt % CaCl₂ and then a 3 wt % HCl aqueous solution for 2 min. The structure and properties of the composite films were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and tensile testing. The results indicated that the tourmaline nanocrystals were dispersed in a cellulose matrix, maintaining the original structure of the nanocrystals in the composite films. The loss peaks (tan δ) in the DMA spectra and the decomposition temperatures in the DSC curves of the composite films were significantly shifted toward low temperatures, suggesting that the nanocrystals broke the partial intermolecular hydrogen bonds of cellulose, and this led to a reduction in the thermal stability. However, the nanocomposite films exhibited a homogeneous structure and dispersion of the nanocrystals. When the tourmaline content was in the range of 4–8 wt %, the composite films possessed good tensile strength (92–107 MPa) and exhibited obvious antibacterial action against Staphylococcus aureus. This work provides a potential way of preparing functional composite films or fibers from cellulose and nanoinorganic particles with NaOH/thiourea aqueous solutions. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dilute solution properties of cellulose in LiOH/urea aqueous system

Cellulose was dissolved rapidly in 4.6 wt % LiOH/15 wt % urea aqueous solution and precooled to –10 °C to create a colorless transparent solution. ¹³C‐NMR spectrum proved that it is a direct solvent for cellulose rather than a derivative aqueous solution system. The result from transmission electron microscope showed a good dispersion of the cellulose molecules in the dilute solution at molecular level. Weight‐average molecular weight (M_w), root mean square radius of gyration (〈s²〉_z^1/2), and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) of cellulose in LiOH/urea aqueous solution were examined with laser light scattering and viscometry. The Mark–Houwink equation for cellulose in 4.6 wt % LiOH/15 wt % urea aqueous solution was established to be [η] = 3.72 × 10^?2 M in the M_w region from 2.7 × 10⁴ to 4.12 × 10⁵. The persistence length (q), molar mass per unit contour length (M_L), and characteristic ratio (C_∞) of cellulose in the dilute solution were given as 6.1 nm, 358 nm^?1, and 20.8, respectively. The experimental data of the molecular parameters of cellulose agreed with the Yamakawa–Fujii theory of the worm‐like chain, indicating that the LiOH/urea aqueous solution was a desirable solvent system of cellulose. The results revealed that the cellulose exists as semistiff‐chains in the LiOH/urea aqueous solution. The cellulose solution was stable during measurement and storage stage. This work provided a new colorless, easy‐to‐prepare, and nontoxic solvent system that can be used with facilities to investigate the chain conformation and molecular weight of cellulose. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rapid dissolution of cellulose in LiOH/urea and NaOH/urea aqueous solutions

Rapid dissolution of cellulose in LiOH/urea and NaOH/urea aqueous solutions was studied systematically. The dissolution behavior and solubility of cellulose were evaluated by using (13)C NMR, optical microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC, and viscometry. The experiment results revealed that cellulose having viscosity-average molecular weight ((overline) M eta) of 11.4 x 104 and 37.2 x 104 could be dissolved, respectively, in 7% NaOH/12% urea and 4.2% LiOH/12% urea aqueous solutions pre-cooled to -10 degrees C within 2 min, whereas all of them could not be dissolved in KOH/urea aqueous solution. The dissolution power of the solvent systems was in the order of LiOH/urea > NaOH/urea > KOH/urea aqueous solution. The results from DSC and (13)C NMR indicated that LiOH/urea and NaOH/urea aqueous solutions as non-derivatizing solvents broke the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding of cellulose and prevented the approach toward each other of the cellulose molecules, leading to the good dispersion of cellulose to form an actual solution.     

Nanocomposite films based on cellulose reinforced with nano-SiO2: microstructure, hydrophilicity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties

Microcrystalline cellulose/nano-SiO₂ composite films have been successfully prepared from solutions in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride by a facile and economic method. The microstructure and properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, water contact angle, thermal gravimetric analyses, and tensile testing. The results revealed that the well-dispersed nanoparticles exhibit strong interfacial interactions with cellulose matrix. The thermal stability and tensile strength of the cellulose nanocomposite films were significantly improved over those of pure regenerated cellulose film. Furthermore, the cellulose nanocomposite films exhibited better hydrophobicity and a lower degree of swelling than pure cellulose. This method is believed to have potential application in the field of fabricating cellulose-based nanocomposite film with high performance, thus enlarging the scope of commercial application of cellulose-based materials.
