Description

METHOD FOR PREPARING WATER-AND-OIL-RESISTANT NANOCELLULOSE COMPOSITE FILM
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a water-and-oil-resistant
nanocellulose composite film.
Background Art
Cellulose exists widely in various plant resources. The development of plant
fiber-based materials can effectively relieve the non-renewability and environmental
pollution issues of petroleum-based derivatives that are currently widely used.
Nanocellulose extracted from plant fiber resources is a high-performance, renewable
green raw material with properties such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, low density
and excellent mechanical strength. It can be used as a basic unit to construct a variety
of structural materials and functional composite materials with excellent performance.
A transparent film formed by intertwining nanocellulose has excellent mechanical
strength, low oxygen permeability, low thermal expansion coefficient and excellent
thermostability and can be applied to green packaging materials or as a transparent
substrate for flexible electronic components. However, a large number of hydrophilic
groups are exposed on the surface of nanocellulose, which tends to form a hydrated
layer and exhibits strong hydrophilicity. In a humid environment, water molecules can
be easily adsorbed on its surface, destroying the hydrogen bonding between
nanocellulose, drastically degrading the mechanical properties and insulation
properties of the nanocellulose film. The nanocellulose has poor water resistance, and
also the nanocellulose film has poor oil impermeability, which severely restricts the
application of its thin films as packaging materials of high impermeability.
Therefore, a water-and-oil-resistant nanocellulose film is desired to meet the demand
for novel packaging materials. Gousse (2002) modified the nanocellulose via
silanization to improve the hydrophobicity of the nanocellulose. Rodionova (2011) modified the surface of nanocellulose via esterification by acetic anhydride in a toluene solvent system. Shimizu (2014) adsorbed different kinds of alkyl quaternary ammonium salts on the carboxyl groups on the surface of the nanocellulose, and prepared a hydrophobic, flexible and transparent thin film by a means of casting. Hambardzumyan (2015) used Fenton reagents (H 2 0 2 and FeSO4) to graft lignin to the surface of nanocellulose crystals through covalent bonding to increase its hydrophobicity. Wang (2015) used the nanocellulose film to adsorb Cu 2+ and Fe 3 , so that it maintains excellent mechanical properties in a high humidity environment.
Although these methods improved the hydrophobicity of nanocellulose films to a certain extent, some of these methods require the use of a large amount of organic solvents or metal ions, which is not an environment-friendly technical process; some of them will cause damages to the properties of nanocellulose; and some processes are too complicated. Moreover, no prior art documents and patents has implemented beneficial exploration in improving the oil-and-water-resistant properties of nanocellulose films.

Summary of the Invention
The invention provides a method for preparing a water-and-oil-resistant nanocellulose
composite film, which simplifies the synthesis steps, improves the overall properties
of the composite film, and solves the problems existing in the prior art.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention to solve the above technical problems
is as follows:
A method for preparing a water-and-oil-resistant nanocellulose composite film
comprises steps of: Si. filler modification: subjecting a coupling agent and a filler at a
mass ratio of 0.5-15:100 to surface modification treatment using a dry modification
process to obtain a modified filler;
S2. preparation of intermediates: mixing the modified filler and cellulose at a mass
ratio of 1-20:100 thoroughly to obtain the intermediates;
S3. preparation of products: preparing the intermediates as the composite film.
The filler obtained after modification by a coupling agent has a loose structure and a
uniform distribution, and improves the compatibility between the filler and the
nanocellulose. In Si, after the filler was subjected to surface modification treatment
via the coupling agent, the modified filler obtained therefrom has a good
water-and-oil-resistance; In S2, the modified filler and the cellulose were mixed, and
during the mixing process, the coupling agent will form a firm molecular bridge
between the filler and the cellulose at this time. Therefore the nanofiller and the
nanocellulose will be tightly bonded to obtain the intermediates, such that the
intermediates also have a good water-and-oil-resistance. The intermediates are then
prepared into the composite film, and the composite film prepared in such way also
has a good water-and-oil-resistance.
Preferred, the particle size of the filler is 50 nm-1.5 M in Si.
Preferred, in Si, the filler is one or a mixture of two or more selected from calcium carbonate, talc, clay, amorphous silicate, and titanium dioxide, wherein the two or more fillers are mixed in any proportion.
Preferred, the coupling agent is borate ester coupling agent.The borate ester coupling agent molecule contains an isopropyl group, which can be easily hydrolyzed and will generate alcohol after hydrolysis. It will condense with a hydroxyl group on the surface of the filler under the condition of heating, so that the long carbon chain structure in the coupling agent molecule is spreading on the surface of the filler or intertwining with each other to form a cross-linked network structure. Due to the introduction of the coupling agent, the polar hydroxyl groups on the surface of the filler condense with the coupling agent, so as to reduce the polarity of the surface of the filler, increasing the hydrophobicity of the surface of the modified filler, and also increasing the oleophobicity.
Preferred, the dry modification process comprises steps of placing the filler and the coupling agent in a container, heating to 50-95°C for 5-50min under a condition of continuous stirring, then stopping heating, and continuing stirring until a temperature drops to room temperature.
Preferred, in S2, the cellulose is cellulose suspension.
Preferred, in S2, the cellulose suspension is nanocellulose suspension, solvent in the nanocellulose suspension is water, and a concentration of the nanocellulose is 0.5-2%.The nanocellulose and the modified fller are mixed with stirring in an aqueous solution so as to make the nanocellulose and the filler mixed more uniformly, and make the coupling agent hydrolyzed fully with water as a solvent, and bonded more firmly with the filler and the nanocellulose.
Preferred,in S3, first, the solvent contained in the intermediates obtained in S2 is removed, and then hot-pressing treatment is performed to obtain the composite film.The solvent is removed in order to shorten the duration of subsequent hot-pressing and to prevent the excess solvent from adversely effecting under the hot-pressing temperature and therefore affecting the combination of the nanocellulose and the modified filler.
Preferred,the hot-pressing treatment comprises steps of placing the intermediates into
a mould, then drying at 30-40°C followed by hot-pressing treatment. At this time, the
drying temperature should not be too high. If the temperature is too high, the
intermediate may produce bubbles or cracks, which will make the composite film
uneven and dense.
Preferred,the hot-pressing temperature is 90-100°C and the hot-pressing duration is
20-40s. Uniform and dense nanocellulose composite films were obtained at suitable
hot pressing temperature and time.The invention adopts the above-described process,
which has the following advantages. The resultant composite film has excellent
characteristics of water-and-oil-resistance, and no chemical solvent was used during
the synthesis process. Further, the process is simple and has strong operability.

Experimental Example 1
Comparing Fig. 1 with Fig. 2, it can be seen that the calcium carbonate modified by
borate ester coupling agent experienced obvious changes in the microstructure with respect to the unmodified calcium carbonate. The coupling agent-modified calcium carbonate obviously has a more uniform distribution and increased particle size, indicating that the borate ester coupling agent has chemical bonds with the surface of calcium carbonate.
As can be seen from Figs. 3 and 4, the nanocellulose and the filler in the prepared
nanocellulose composite film are mixed uniformly and integrated together. Its surface
is also even without defects such as cracks.
Experimental Example 2
The nanocellulose composite film was prepared by using the method of Example 1-10,
and its water resistance, oil resistance and tensile breaking strength were tested. The
results are shown in Table 2.
The tensile breaking strength was tested by using the strength tester Instron 2710-203
with a test method in accordance with GB 1040 in which: the film material was cut
into rectangular strips with a width of lcm and a length of 10cm, then fixed and
clamped, and the tensile test is initiated until the strips are broken, and data was
recorded. The water resistance was detected by measuring the contact angle of the
film. The oil-proof rating tested by the Kit method indicates the oil resistance property
of the nanofiber composite film. The higher the rating value, the better the oil
resistance property. The oil-proof rating was tested via the Kit method by the
following steps. The nanocellulose composite film was spread out with the test side
facing up, and a drop of test solution of a Kit number was dripped at a height of
25mm. After 15s, the remaining test solution on the nanocellulose composite film was
removed, and the film was immediately observed to determine whether the side
opposite the oil drop was penetrated and discolored. The test is repeated until the
paper surface opposite the test solution of a Kit number was not penetrated and
discolored. The oil resistance rating of the nanocellulose composite film is the value
of that Kit number. A part of standard reagents in the Kit test are shown in Table 1.

As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the contact angles of the nanocellulose
composite film prepared by the method of the present invention are all greater than
90, indicating that the nanocellulose composite film of the present invention has a
good water resistance. Oil resistance ratings were tested by the Kit method, and the
results indicated that the nanocellulose composite film of the present invention has a
oil resistance rating of grade 12, which means a good oil resistance. The nanocellulose
composite film of the present invention has good water resistance and oil resistance
due to the introduction of the modified fillers. The filler is modified by the coupling
agents so that the compatibility between the filler and the nanocellulose is better, and
the filler can be mixed with the nanocellulose more uniformly. Moreover, the filler
has good water resistance. Then the modified filler and the nanocellulose are mixed
uniformly to prepare the composite nanocellulose film. As the dense structure of the
nanocellulose film has a certain ability of resisting the penetration of oil droplets, after
preparing the composite film with the modified filler, the composite nanocellulose
film has both good water resistance and oil resistance. In addition, the test of the
tensile breaking strength indicates that the tensile breaking strength of the
nanocellulose composite film of the present invention is also relatively high without
significant reduction. The reason is that the nanoscale filler is hydrophobically
modified by using the coupling agents and then mixed with the nanocellulose. The
resulting composite nanocellulose film has hydrophobicity, and water molecules can
not easily be adsorbed on the surface of the nanocellulose. Thus the hydrogen bonding
between the nanocellulose will not be destroyed, so that the mechanical properties of
the nanocellulose film can be maintained.
The above-mentioned specific implementations should not be regarded as limiting the
scope of the present invention. As understood by one skilled in the art, any
substitutions, improvements or changes made to embodiments of the present invention
all fall within the scope of the present invention.
Anything not described in detail in the present invention is well-known techniques for
those skilled in the art.
