Polymorphic changes of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are strongly associated with its properties and applications. In this study, CNCs with different polymorphs were produced by a simple polymorphic transformation treatment. Cellulose I nanocrystals were produced by typical sulfuric acid hydrolysis (CNC-I). Cellulose II nanocrystals were prepared by two different methods: (1) sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose previously mercerized with 18.5 wt% NaOH (CNC-II), (2) mercerization of CNC-I with 18.5 wt% NaOH (MCNC-II). Cellulose III nanocrystals were prepared by ethylenediamine treatment of CNC-I (ECNC-III). The polymorphic changes of CNCs, and their properties including morphology, crystallinity, thermal stability, and re-dispersion ability were systematically investigated. The results showed that the other properties of CNC-II and MCNC-II were quite different from each other except for the morphology. The morphology of polymorphic transformed CNCs were strongly relate to the fashion of cellulose chains arrangement. Both CNC-II and MCNC-II exhibited a rod-like shape with short lengths, whereas the ECNC-III showed relatively long length, like CNC-I.
纤维素纳米晶(CNC)的多晶型变化与其性能和应用密切相关。在本研究中,通过简单的多晶型转变处理制备了具有不同多晶型的 CNC。通过典型的硫酸水解制备纤维素 I 纳米晶(CNC-I)。通过两种不同的方法制备纤维素 II 纳米晶:(1)用 18.5wt%NaOH 对纤维素进行丝光化后再进行硫酸水解(CNC-II),(2)用 18.5wt%NaOH 对 CNC-I 进行丝光化(MCNC-II)。通过乙二胺处理 CNC-I 制备纤维素 III 纳米晶(ECNC-III)。系统研究了 CNC 多晶型变化及其性能,包括形态、结晶度、热稳定性和再分散能力。结果表明,除形态外,CNC-II 和 MCNC-II 的其他性能差异很大。多晶型转化 CNC 的形态与纤维素链排列方式密切相关。CNC-II 和 MCNC-II 均呈现出短而直的棒状形态,而 ECNC-III 则呈现出与 CNC-I 相似的相对较长的形态。
