Abstract:

Nanocellulose (CNC) was carboxylated and then introduced into polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. The effects of carboxylated nanocellulose (CNC-C) and CNC-C doping amount on the mechanical properties, phase structure, crystallinity and degradation properties of CNC-PLA composite polyester were studied. The results showed that, the hydrophilicity of CNC was improved after carboxylation, whose water contact angle was decreased from 73.5° to 46.4°. The infrared spectrum showed that CNC-C and PLA formed composite films by physical blending. The addition of CNC-C made the fracture mode of the composite films change from brittle fracture to ductile fracture. The tensile strength and fracture elongation of 3% CNC-C/PLA composite film both reached the maximum values of 40.8 MPa and 5.5%, and the cold crystallization temperature (Tc) of this composite film was of the minimum value (114.5 ℃), and its crystallinity reached the maximum value of 50.6%. The CNC-C introduced improved the degradability of the composite film. The weight loss of 3% CNC-C/PLA composite film was 1.71% after degradation at 25 ℃ for one week, and it was 53.5% after degradation at 100 ℃ for one week, indicative of excellent biodegradability and mechanical properties.
