Abstract

Cellulose has garnered attention in the textile industry, but it exhibits limitations in applications that require high strength and modulus. In this study, regenerated cellulose fiber with enhanced mechanical properties was fabricated from a gel-like N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO)-cellulose solution by modulating the intermolecular interaction and conformation of the cellulose chains. To control the interaction, two types of co-solvents (dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and dimethyl formamide (DMF)) were added to the cellulose solutions at varying concentrations (10, 20, and 30 wt%). Rheological analysis showed that the co-solvents reduced the solution viscosity by weakening intermolecular interactions. The calculated distance parameter (Ra) in Hansen space confirmed that the co-solvent disrupted intermolecular hydrogen bonding within cellulose chains. The solutions were spun into fiber via a simple wet spinning process and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and universal testing machine (UTM). The addition of co-solvent led to an increased crystallinity index (C.I.) owing to the extended cellulose chains. The modulus of the resulting fiber was increased when the co-solvent concentration was 10 wt%, regardless of the co-solvent type. This study demonstrates the potential for enhancing the mechanical properties of cellulose-based products by modulating the conformation and interaction of cellulose chains through the addition of co-solvent.

具有增强机械性能的纤维素纤维:凝胶状 NMMO 系统中助溶剂的作用。
纤维素在纺织工业中备受关注,但在需要高强度和高模量的应用中却表现出局限性。在这项研究中,通过调节纤维素链的分子间相互作用和构象,利用凝胶状 N-甲基吗啉 N-氧化物(NMMO)-纤维素溶液制造出了机械性能更强的再生纤维素纤维。为了控制相互作用,在纤维素溶液中加入了两种不同浓度(10、20 和 30 wt%)的助溶剂(二甲基乙酰胺(DMAc)和二甲基甲酰胺(DMF))。流变分析表明,助溶剂削弱了分子间的相互作用,从而降低了溶液粘度。汉森空间计算的距离参数(Ra)证实,助溶剂破坏了纤维素链中的分子间氢键。通过简单的湿法纺丝工艺将溶液纺成纤维,并通过 X 射线衍射(XRD)和万能试验机(UTM)进行表征。由于纤维素链的延长,共溶剂的加入导致结晶度指数(C.I.)增加。当助溶剂浓度为 10 wt% 时,无论助溶剂类型如何,纤维的模量都会增加。这项研究表明,通过添加助溶剂调节纤维素链的构象和相互作用,有可能提高纤维素基产品的机械性能。

期刊介绍: The journal Gels (ISSN 2310-2861) is an international, open access journal on physical (supramolecular) and chemical gel-based materials. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers, and full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Short communications, full research papers and review papers are accepted formats for the preparation of the manuscripts. Gels aims to serve as a reference journal with a focus on gel materials for researchers working in both academia and industry. Therefore, papers demonstrating practical applications of these materials are particularly welcome. Occasionally, invited contributions (i.e., original research and review articles) on emerging issues and high-tech applications of gels are published as special issues.
