Nanocelluloses - surface modification and use in functional materials

Salajková, Michaela January 2012 (has links)
Cellulose nanocomposites offer interesting potential in terms of improved properties and new functionalities compared with microcomposites. Preparation from colloidal suspensions is promising, since high reinforcement content is possible and a wide range of constituents can be used. In the first study, the challenge is to form a stable suspension of well-dispersed carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) in water and to prepare commingled high CNT content nanopaper structures by filtration. Various surfactants were used to modify CNT. The NFC was stabilized by charged carboxylate groups. A nonylphenol phosphate ester surfactant, NPPE, worked well for CNT and provided a stable and well-dispersed water suspension of CNT and NFC. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), porosimetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize nanopaper structure, and tensile properties were measured as well as surface resistivity. The processing route is water based and it is possible to prepare thin coatings as well as thicker films with a combination of low surface resistivity, flexibility in bending and high strength and toughness in tension.  As inspired by organo-modified layered silicates, the objective of the second study is to develop an environmentally friendly procedure for the surface modification of cellulose nanocrystals, CNC, using quaternary ammonium salts via adsorption. In order to obtain higher surface charge density on CNC, a new route is developed for preparation of CNC with carboxylic acid groups. Quanternary ammonium cations bearing alkyl, phenyl, glycidyl, and diallyl groups are used to modify CNC to render their surface more hydrophobic. The structure and surface hydrophobicity of unmodified and modified CNC as well as their dispersibility in organic solvent are characterized by AFM, FE-SEM, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray analysis (XDR) and contact angle measurement (CAM). Future work will focus on surface-modified nanocelluloses in composite materials, in order to learn more about surface treatment effects on nanocomposite properties. / Nanokompositer från cellulosa har potential att ge starkt förbättrade egenskaper och ny funktionalitet jämfört med mikrokompositer. De ger även möjlighet till komposittillverkning från kolloidala suspensioner där man kan uppnå hög halt av förstärkningsfasen. Det är också möjligt att välja från en bred flora av lösliga och dispergerbara materialkomponenter. I första studien är utmaningen att skapa en stabil och väldispergerad suspension av kolnanorör (CNT) och nanofibrillerad cellulosa (NFC) i vatten för att genom filtrering framställa nanopapper med interpenetrerande CNT och NFC nätverk. Olika ytaktiva ämnen användes för att modifiera CNT. NFC stabiliserades genom laddade karboxylgrupper på ytan. En nonylfenol fosfatester, NPPE, fungerade bra för CNT och resulterade i en stabil och väldispergerad vattensuspension av CNT och NFC. FE-SEM, densitometri och AFM användes för att karakterisera nanopapperstruktur. Mekaniska egenskaper och ytresistivitet mättes. Processen för framställning av CNT/NFC nanopapper är vattenbaserade och det är möjligt att framställa tunna ytbeläggningar likväl som tjockare filmer. Dessa strukturer har en kombination av låg resistivitet, flexibilitet i böjning liksom hög hållfasthet och seghet i dragbelastning.  Syftet med den andra studien är att utgå från organo-modifierade skiktade silikater (leror) för att utveckla en miljövänlig ytmodifieringsmetod för nanocellulosa. För att öka ytladdningstätheten på CNC (nanokristaller från cellulosa) utvecklas ett nytt sätt att skapa karboxylgrupper på ytan. Kvarternära ammoniumsalter med alkyl, fenyl, glycidyl och diallylgrupper används för att göra ytan på CNC mer hydrofob. Ytans struktur och hydrofoba karaktär, liksom dispersionsegenskaper i organiska lösningsmedel, karakteriseras med hjälp av AFM, FE-SEM, FT-IR, XDR och kontaktvinkelmätning. Fortsatt arbete kommer att fokusera på ytmodifierad cellulosa i kompositmaterial, för att utveckla förståelsen för effekter av ytmodifiering på nanokompositers egenskaper / <p>QC 20120302</p>

Élaboration et application d’agents fixateurs de colorants à base de chitosane pour l’industrie papetière / Elaboration of chitosan-based dyes fixing agents for paper applications

Altounian, Anais 18 December 2018 (has links)
Au cours des dernières années, des progrès ont été faits dans le domaine papetier. De plus, le développement de nouveaux matériaux biosourcés a fait l’objet de nombreux sujets de recherche. L’élaboration de fixateurs de colorants alimentaires anioniques à base de chitosane destinés à l’industrie papetière, s’inscrit donc dans ce contexte R & D. Ce projet, proposé par la société Colorey et mené à bien en collaboration avec le laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères (IMP, UMR 5223), a consisté en l’utilisation de chitosane (unique polycation naturel) tel quel pour la coloration en surface du papier, ou modifié avec le chlorure de glycidyltriméthylammonium (GTMAC) sous la forme de chitosane quaternarisé (Chi-GTMAC), pour la coloration dans la masse. Ce dernier procédé de coloration requiert un pH neutre ou légèrement alcalin, ce qui est incompatible avec la solubilisation du chitosane, qui nécessite un milieu aqueux acide. C’est pourquoi le Chi-GTMAC, comportant des fonctions triméthylammonium comme charges positives indépendantes du pH, a été mis au point. La stabilité thermique et la solubilité à tout pH de chaque échantillon, ont été évaluées afin de déterminer leur capacité à supporter ou non les températures de séchage du processus papetier, et leur potentiel d’utilisation au sein du pulpeur pour la coloration dans la masse. Puis, l’efficacité de certains dérivés à colorer la pâte et à fixer le colorant a été étudiée à l’aide d’un plan d’expérience. Le chitosane a, quant à lui, été testé en solution aqueuse acide comme agent fixateur pour la coloration de surface du papier préformé / Over the past years, progresses have been achieved in the field of the paper industry. Moreover, the development of biosourced materials has been studied under intense investigations.The elaboration of chitosan-based fixing agents of anionic food dyes intended to paper industry is in line with this R & D context. This project, proposed by the company Colorey and carried out in collaboration with IMP laboratory (UMR 5223), consisted in using chitosan (the only natural polycation) as such for the surface dyeing of paper or, modified with the glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) as quaternized chitosan (Chi-GTMAC), for the mass dyeing of the pulp. This last process required a neutral or slightly alkaline pH within the pulper, which cannot allow the solubilization of chitosan. Hence, chitosan was derivatized into Chi-GTMAC, bearing trimethylammonium moieties as pH-independent functional groups. The thermal stabilities and the aqueous solubilities as a function of pH of these derivatives were investigated in order to determine whether they could support the drying temperature of the papermaking process or whether they could be used within the pulper for mass coloration. Then, the efficiency of some of the obtained derivatives to color the pulp and to fix dyes was determined thanks to a designed of experiments. Chitosan, for its part, has been tested as fixing agent for surface coloration of paper
