Characterisation of solution cast cellulose nanofibre – reinforced poly(lactic acid)

Abstract: Abstract. Cellulose nanofibres, 20 nm in diameter and 300 nm long, were prepared by acid hydrolysis of flax yarns. Composite films containing 2.5 and 5.0 wt% flax cellulose (FC) fibres were prepared by solution casting of mixtures of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) solution and cellulose nanofibre suspension in chloroform. The resulting composite films and solution cast pure PLA film, with thickness of around 160 μm, showed good transparency. For composites with 2.5 and 5.0 wt% FC, the tensile strength increased by 25… Show more

“…Chemical treatment is the most effective way to obtain a higher purity cellulose. A combination of chlorite bleaching, alkali treatment, and acid hydrolysis is the most common process used to extract cellulose from the plants (Habibi et al 2010;Liu et al 2010;Rosa et al 2010;Siqueira et al 2010;Chen et al 2012;Kargarzadeh et al 2012;Sheltami et al 2012;Zaini et al 2013). Chlorite bleaching has the function of extracting holocellulose from raw cellulose fiber.…”

“…Acid hydrolysis is used to degrade amorphous cellulose. Many researchers have obtained cellulose from different fibers and plants, such as wood (Araki et al 1998;Beck-Candanedo et al 2005), banana (Cherian et al 2008), yarns (Liu et al 2010), coconut husk fibers (Rosa et al 2010), potato peel waste (Chen et al 2012), mengkuang leaves , bamboo (He et al 2013), and kenaf fiber Zaini et al 2013).…”

“…Mercerized flax yarns on acid treatment and neutralization with alkali yielded nanocellulose. The PLA composites with these nanofibers showed significant increase in tensile strength and modulus whereas elongation at break was decreased with fiber content [23]. Cherian & co-workers used pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) to extract nanocellulose by chemical as well as mechanical process.…”
