One-pot green extraction of high charge density cellulose nanocrystals with high yield for bionanocomposites
Source abstract
Abstract
The use of lignocellulosic materials for extracting functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (FCNs) in a green and sustainable method under mild conditions is limited owing to the strong hydrogen bonding in cellulose. A facile, green, and high-efficient avenue was developed to produce FCNs with high yield through the mechanochemistry synergetic effect of recyclable p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-catalyzed deep eutectic solvent (PDES) and microwave- solvothermal (MWS). FCNs with a high charge density of 1.59 e nm−2, a crystallinity of 81%, a better thermostability and dispersibility were obtained at a high yield of 87.6% by the one-step processing. The PDES could be easily recycled, and thus was beneficial to cost reduction and waste liquor treatment. Generated FCNs could be used to develop functional bionanocomposites due to their enhanced effect. When a loading of 1 wt% FCNs was added into gelatin matrix, the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the bionanocomposites increased 188 and 131%, respectively, suggesting their remarkable stress transfer potential. Thus, the study demonstrates a green and cost-effective approach for the mass production of FCNs, contributing to strong potential in building high-performance bionanocomposites.
