Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fine cellulose fiber and a method for producing the same.
- Cellulose fibers are aggregates of cellulose fine fibers (microfibrils).
- Microfibrils have mechanical properties comparable to steel and have a nanostructure with a diameter of about 2 nm to 20 nm, and are attracting social attention as a reinforcing material.
- the fine fibers are bound by hydrogen bonds between the fibers. Therefore, in order to take out the fine fibers, it is necessary to break the hydrogen bonds and separate the microfibrils (hereinafter referred to as defibration). Therefore, a mechanical defibration method that applies intense physical force is used.
- An underwater mechanical defibration method is known as a method for producing cellulose nanofibers.
- cellulose is swollen by water and nanosized by a strong mechanical shear such as a high-pressure homogenizer or water jet in a soft state.
- Natural cellulose microfibrils are composed of a crystalline zone and an amorphous zone.
- the amorphous zone absorbs a swellable solvent such as water, and when it becomes swollen, it deforms due to strong shearing. For this reason, the obtained cellulose fine fiber is damaged, becomes entangled, and is easily caught.
- Patent Document 1 As a method for producing a cellulose fine fiber whose surface is esterified, there is a method in which a cellulose-based substance is swollen and / or partially dissolved using a mixed solvent containing an ionic liquid and an organic solvent and then esterified ( Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1 when using the mixed solvent containing the ionic liquid and organic solvent of patent document 1, there exists a subject that the cost regarding collection
- Patent Document 2 A method of esterifying and dissociating is known (Patent Document 2).
- Patent Document 2 a defibrating solution containing an esterifying agent and an organic solvent has low permeability to cellulose, and hardly penetrates into the cellulose during mechanical pulverization. Therefore, chemical defibration is not performed even in this method, and fibers are manufactured by a mechanical defibration method that requires a strong mechanical force. Strong mechanical crushing can damage cellulose nanofibers.
- the inside of the cellulose fiber is less easily esterified. Therefore, even if the fine fiber inside the cellulose fiber is defibrated by mechanical defibration, it is considered that the surface modification is hardly completed.
- the manufacturing method of the cellulose fine fiber modified with a surface aromatic substituent is known (patent document 3). However, this chemical modification step alone cannot be defibrated, and a strong mechanical defibrating step is required.
- the present invention provides a method for producing cellulose fine fibers and a method for producing modified cellulose fine fibers, which are energy-saving methods that do not require strong physical pulverization, have a high degree of crystallinity, and have little fiber shape damage.
- the present inventors have made cellulose defibrated by impregnating cellulose with a defibrating solution containing a carboxylic acid vinyl ester or an aldehyde without mechanically crushing, thereby The present inventors have found a method for producing cellulose fine fibers having a high crystallinity in size and little damage to the fiber shape.
- the method for producing cellulose fine fibers of the present invention includes defibrating cellulose by impregnating cellulose with a defibrating solution containing an aprotic solvent having a donor number of 26 or more and a carboxylic acid vinyl ester or an aldehyde.
- This aldehyde is at least one aldehyde selected from the group consisting of an aldehyde represented by the following formula (1), paraformaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, perillaldehyde, vanillin and glyoxal: R 1 -CHO (1) (Wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group).
- R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group.
- the content ratio of the aldehyde or carboxylic acid vinyl ester is 0.05% by weight to 50% by weight with respect to the entire defibrating solution.
- the aprotic solvent having 26 or more donors is at least one selected from the group consisting of sulfoxides, pyridines, pyrrolidones, and amides.
- the aldehyde is formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butanal, isobutanal, 2-methylbutanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, acrolein, benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, peryl.
- the carboxylate vinyl ester is vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl caproate, vinyl cyclohexanecarboxylate, vinyl caprylate, vinyl caprate, vinyl laurate, vinyl myristate, palmitate.
- vinyl carboxylate vinyl ester is vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl caproate, vinyl cyclohexanecarboxylate, vinyl caprylate, vinyl caprate, vinyl laurate, vinyl myristate, palmitate.
- the carboxylic acid vinyl ester is a compound represented by the following formula (2): R 2 —COO—CH ⁇ CH 2 (2) (Wherein R 2 represents any of an alkyl group, alkylene group, cycloalkyl group or aryl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms).
- the defibrating solution further comprises a cellulose modifying reactive agent.
- the cellulose-modified reactive agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid halides, carboxylic anhydrides, carboxylic acids, isocyanates, epoxies and alkyl halides. .
- the defibrating solution further comprises an acid catalyst or a base catalyst.
- the acid catalyst is at least one selected from the group consisting of p-toluenesulfonic acid, pyrididium p-toluenesulfonate, inorganic acid, and organic acid.
- the base catalyst comprises an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonate, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bicarbonate, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carboxylate, an alkali metal or an alkali.
- Earth metal borate alkali metal or alkaline earth metal phosphate, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydrogen phosphate, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal tetraalkylammonium acetate, pyridines, It is at least one selected from the group consisting of imidazoles and amines.
- the content ratio of the acid catalyst or the base catalyst is 0.001 wt% to 30 wt% with respect to the entire defibrating solution.
- the weight ratio of cellulose to the defibrating solution is 0.5 / 99.5 to 25/75.
- surface-modified cellulose fine fibers are provided.
- the surface-modified cellulose fine fibers have an average fiber diameter of 2 nm to 800 nm, an aspect ratio of 40 to 1000, and can be dispersed in an organic solvent or resin having an SP value of 10 or less.
- cellulose is permeated into a defibrated solution containing an aprotic solvent having a donor number of 26 or more and a carboxylic acid vinyl ester or an aldehyde without strongly defibrating using a high-pressure homogenizer or a water jet. Since cellulose is defibrated, it is possible to produce cellulose fine fibers having a small aspect ratio and a small aspect ratio. Furthermore, by adding a catalyst or a modification reaction agent and a catalyst to the defibration solution, the surface-modified cellulose fine fibers can be produced by modifying the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the microfibrils.
- the fibrillation solution is penetrated into cellulose to modify the surface of microfibrils while cutting hydrogen bonds between fibers, lamellae, and microfibrils. Without breaking down, cellulose can be defibrated and the surface of microfibrils can be modified efficiently. Therefore, it is possible to easily and efficiently produce a cellulose fine fiber having a nano size, high crystallinity, little fiber shape damage, and a large aspect ratio by an energy saving method.
- the cellulose fine fibers and modified cellulose fine fibers obtained by the production method of the present invention are excellent in redispersibility in solvents and resins.
- the hydroxyl group on the surface of the cellulose fine fiber can react with various modification reaction agents. Therefore, it is possible to introduce various modified functional groups depending on the application. For example, the affinity between cellulose fine fibers and an organic medium such as a resin can be further improved by introducing a hydrophobic functional group. Moreover, the surface of the cellulose fine fiber obtained has a reactive group by modifying the terminal of a modification functional group with the modification reaction agent which has reactive groups, such as an acryl group, an epoxy group, an isocyanate group, or a vinyl group. Therefore, the functionality and application can be further expanded. For example, it can be expected that a chemical reaction occurs between the fine cellulose fibers and the resin at the time of compounding to improve the adhesion at the interface and increase the reinforcing effect.
- the cellulose fine fiber production method of the present invention can defibrate a cellulose material without using a strong defibrating means such as a high-pressure homogenizer or a water jet. Therefore, the obtained cellulose fine fiber has a structure close to that of natural microfibrils and has little damage, and thus has high strength.
- the cellulose fine fiber production method of the present invention uses a fibrillation solution containing an aprotic polar solvent having a donor number of 26 or more and a carboxylic acid vinyl ester or an aldehyde.
- This aldehyde is at least one aldehyde selected from the group consisting of an aldehyde represented by the following formula (1), paraformaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde (cinnamaldehyde), perylaldehyde, vanillin and glyoxal (dialdehyde) (hereinafter, Also called aldehydes): R 1 -CHO (1) (Wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group).
- the production method of the present invention includes allowing the defibrating solution to penetrate into cellulose and defibrating the cellulose.
- the microfibrils can be self-dissolved to obtain cellulose fine fibers. Therefore, cellulose is defibrated without using high-power defibrating equipment such as a high-pressure homogenizer or water jet, without defibration by mechanical defibration or crushing, and nano-sized, high crystallinity, and fiber shape damage Less cellulose fine fibers can be obtained.
- the cellulose fine fiber obtained has little damage and a structure close to that of natural microfibril.
- cellulose can be defibrated without using mechanical defibrating means due to the action of a strong shearing force, so that damage due to physical action is small. Therefore, it is thought that the obtained cellulose fine fiber and the modified cellulose fine fiber retain high strength. Furthermore, since the surface roughness is small, re-dispersion in a solvent or resin is easy even after drying.

- the production method of the present invention includes infiltrating the defibration solution into cellulose and defibrating.
- the reason why cellulose is defibrated by the defibrating solution of the present invention is considered as follows. That is, it is considered that defibration is caused by breaking hydrogen bonds between cellulose fibers, lamellae, and microfibrils while the defibrating solution penetrates into the inside of cellulose. It is considered that the higher the number of donors or electrical conductivity of the defibration solution, the larger the void volume between cellulose fibers, lamellae, and microfibrils caused by swelling, and the degree of defibration is improved.
- the carboxylic acid vinyl ester reacts with the hydroxyl group of cellulose or water contained in the cellulose to produce acetaldehyde as a by-product.
- This acetaldehyde forms a hemiacetal or acetal with a part of hydroxyl groups on the microfibril surface to break hydrogen bonds between the microfibrils. Therefore, it is considered that microfibrils are easily separated from each other and fibrillated.
- the defibration solution further contains a modification reaction agent, hemiacetal or acetal is unstable, so it is considered that the modification reaction agent returns to acetaldehyde and the cellulose hydroxyl group is modified.
- the aldehyde forms a hydroxyl group on the surface of the microfibril and a hemiacetal or acetal to break a hydrogen bond between the microfibrils. Therefore, it is considered that microfibrils are easily separated from each other and fibrillated.
- the defibration solution further contains a modification reaction agent, hemiacetal or acetal is unstable, so it is considered that the modification reaction agent returns to acetaldehyde and the cellulose hydroxyl group is modified.
- the cellulose used for defibration may be in the form of cellulose alone or in a mixed form containing non-cellulose components such as lignin and hemicellulose.
- the cellulose is preferably cellulose containing an I-crystal type cellulose structure, and examples thereof include wood-derived pulp, wood, bamboo, Linder pulp, cotton, and substances containing cellulose powder.
- any appropriate means can be used to break hydrogen bonds between cellulose fibers, lamellae, and microfibrils, or to modify hydroxyl groups on the surface.
- Examples of such chemical defibrating methods include a method in which the defibrating solution is prepared, and cellulose is added to and mixed with the prepared defibrating solution.
- the defibration solution has high permeability to cellulose, by adding cellulose to the defibration solution and mixing, the defibration solution enters between the microfibrils and breaks hydrogen bonds between the microfibrils. Thus, cellulose can be defibrated. Furthermore, the surface of the fine fiber can be modified by using a modification reaction and / or a catalyst together.
- cellulose may be mixed in a defibration solution and allowed to stand for 0.5 to 1 hour or longer. Further, after mixing, stirring may be performed to such an extent that cellulose can be maintained in a uniform state in the defibrating solution. Defibration proceeds by simply mixing cellulose in the defibrating solution and leaving it alone, but in order to promote penetration or uniformity of the defibrated solution, stirring may be performed using a stirring means. Any appropriate apparatus can be used as the agitator. Usually, any apparatus capable of stirring, blending or kneading may be used. For example, a stirrer generally used in organic synthesis can be used.

- the defibration processing time in the present invention can be set to any appropriate time depending on the number of solvent donors contained in the defibrating solution, the type of aldehydes or carboxylic acid vinyl ester, and the type of catalyst. For example, it is 0.5 to 50 hours, preferably 1 to 36 hours, and more preferably 1.5 to 24 hours.
- a lower aldehyde eg, acetaldehyde
- a lower carboxylic acid vinyl ester eg, vinyl acetate
- an aprotic polar solvent having a high donor number eg, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
- several hours eg, 0.5 Time to about 6 hours
- DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
- the reaction time may be shortened by increasing the treatment temperature (reaction temperature) or increasing the stirring speed. If the reaction time is too short, it does not sufficiently penetrate between the microfibrils of the defibrating solution, the reaction becomes insufficient, and the degree of defibration may be reduced. Moreover, when the defibration solution contains a catalyst, there is a possibility that the yield of cellulose fine fibers may decrease due to over-modification due to the reaction time being too long or the temperature being too high. In addition, when the modification reaction agent is added in the middle, it is preferable that the reaction is further performed for 0.5 to 5 hours or more after the modification reaction agent is added.
- the cellulose is defibrated preferably in a closed system or a pressurized system in order to avoid evaporation of carboxylic acid vinyl esters or aldehydes. Furthermore, in order to avoid evaporation of low boiling components such as carboxylic acid vinyl esters and by-products such as acetaldehyde or aldehydes, it is preferable to apply pressure.

本発明のセルロース微細繊維の製造方法は、ドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒と、カルボン酸ビニルエステルまたはアルデヒドとを含む解繊溶液を用いる。このアルデヒドは、下記式(1)で表されるアルデヒド、パラホルムアルデヒド、シンナムアルデヒド(桂皮アルデヒド)、ペリルアルデヒド、バニリンおよびグリオキサール(ジアルデヒド)からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種のアルデヒド(以下、アルデヒド類ともいう)である:

(式中、R1は水素原子、炭素数1~16のアルキル基、アルケニル基、シクロアルキル基またはアリール基を表わす)。
本発明の製造方法で用いる解繊溶液は、ドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒と、カルボン酸ビニルエステルまたはアルデヒドとを含む。このアルデヒドは、下記式(1)で表されるアルデヒド、パラホルムアルデヒド、シンナムアルデヒド(桂皮アルデヒド)、ペリルアルデヒド、バニリンおよびグリオキサール(ジアルデヒド)からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種のアルデヒドである:
R1-CHO (1)
(式中、R1は水素原子、炭素数1~16のアルキル基、アルケニル基、シクロアルキル基またはアリール基を表わす)。
1つの実施形態においては、本発明の解繊溶液はカルボン酸ビニルエステルとドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒とを含む。カルボン酸ビニルエステルは、セルロースの修飾反応化剤としても機能し得る。
カルボン酸ビニルエステルとしては任意の適切なカルボン酸ビニルエステルを用いることができる。カルボン酸ビニルエステルは、好ましくは下記式(2)で表される化合物である。
R2-COO-CH=CH2 (2)
(式中、R2は炭素数1~24のアルキル基、アルキレン基、シクロアルキル基またはアリール基を表わす)。
上記非プロトン性極性溶媒としては、ドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒を用いることができる。非プロトン性極性溶媒のドナー数は、好ましくは26~35であり、より好ましくは26.5~33、さらに好ましくは27~32である。ドナー数が26未満である場合、解繊溶液のミクロフィブリル間への浸透性が十分に向上しないおそれがある。なお、ドナー数については、文献「Netsu Sokutei 28(3)、2001、P135-143」に開示されており、この文献の記載は本明細書に参考として援用される。
上記解繊溶液は、カルボン酸ビニルエステル以外のセルロース修飾反応化剤(以下、他の修飾反応化剤ともいう)をさらに含むことが好ましい。他のセルロース修飾反応化剤をさらに含むことにより、セルロースを解繊しながら、セルロースのミクロフィブリル表面を2種以上の官能基で化学修飾することができる。

上記解繊溶液は、修飾反応化剤の種類に応じて、塩基触媒または酸触媒をさらに含んでいてもよい。解繊溶液が触媒を含むことにより、修飾反応を促進すると共に、解繊溶液の極性が向上し、解繊をさらに促進することができる。塩基触媒および酸触媒は誘電率が高く、これらを添加することにより解繊溶液の誘電率が大きくなる。そのため、解繊溶液のセルロースに対する親和性が増大し、解繊溶液の浸透速度と膨潤率が向上する。さらに、セルロース中に含まれる可溶性のヘミセルロースなどの非結晶性成分の溶解を促進し、ミクロフィブリルの解繊を加速する作用を有し得る。
1つの実施形態においては、本発明の解繊溶液は式(1)で表されるアルデヒド、パラホルムアルデヒド、シンナムアルデヒド(桂皮アルデヒド)、ペリルアルデヒド、バニリンおよびグリオキサール(ジアルデヒド)からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種のアルデヒドとドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒とを含む:
R1-CHO (1)
(式中、R1は水素原子、炭素数1~16のアルキル基、アルケニル基、シクロアルキル基またはアリール基を表わす)。
上記アルデヒドとしては、下記式(1)で表されるアルデヒド、パラホルムアルデヒド、シンナムアルデヒド(桂皮アルデヒド)、ペリルアルデヒド、バニリンおよびグリオキサール(ジアルデヒド)からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種のアルデヒドが用いられる。
R1-CHO (1)
(式中、R1は水素原子、炭素数1~16のアルキル基、アルケニル基、シクロアルキル基またはアリール基を表わす)。
ドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒としては、任意の適切な溶媒を用いることができる。例えば、上記B-1-2項で具体的に記載した溶媒を用いることができる。また、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、ドナー数が26未満である非プロトン性極性溶媒を含んでいてもよい。具体的な溶媒としては、カルボン酸ビニルエステルを含む解繊溶液で例示したものが挙げられる。これらの溶媒を含む場合、解繊溶液における含有割合は、例えば、50重量%以下である。
アルデヒドを含む解繊溶液は修飾反応化剤をさらに含んでいてもよい。修飾反応化剤としては、上記B-1-3項で具体的に記載した修飾反応化剤が挙げられる。アルデヒドを含む解繊溶液に含まれる修飾反応化剤の含有量についても上記カルボン酸ビニルエステルを含む解繊溶液で開示した含有量と同じ範囲で用いることができる。

上記解繊溶液は、任意の適切な方法により調製することができる。例えば、上記カルボン酸ビニルエステルまたはアルデヒド類とドナー数26以上の非プロトン性極性溶媒とを撹拌などにより混合することにより調製することができる。
本発明の製造方法では、上記解繊溶液をセルロースに浸透させて、解繊することを含む。セルロースが本発明の解繊溶液により解繊される理由は次のように考えられる。すなわち、解繊溶液がセルロース内部に浸透しながらセルロース繊維間、ラメラ間およびミクロフィブリル間の水素結合を切断することによって解繊が引き起こされると考えられる。解繊溶液のドナー数または電気伝導度が高いほど、膨潤により引き起こされるセルロース繊維間、ラメラ間およびミクロフィブリル間の空隙体積が大きく、解繊度合いが向上すると考えられる。
本発明の製造方法で得られるセルロース微細繊維は、平均繊維径が2nm~800nm、アスペクト比が40~1000であることを特徴とする。
本発明の製造方法で得られる表面修飾セルロース微細繊維は、平均繊維径が2nm~800nm、アスペクト比が40~1000であって、SP値10以下の有溶溶媒または樹脂に分散可能なことを特徴とする。
