The dark color and the low emulsion stability, however, greatly hinder the extended application of lignin in various areas such as sunscreens. To address this concern, the colorless lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) with different lignin content was prepared through a sequential process of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decolorization, and high-pressure homogenization. The obtained LCNFs were characterized in terms of chemical composition, whiteness, morphology, and lignin content. The results indicated that the preparation process not only largely preserved lignin, but also maintained the structure of cellulose. Moreover, the UV blocking property of the prepared white LCNFs was determined by blending into a cream. The rates of UV blocking and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging were measured to be 94.7% and 23.1%, respectively, which were comparable to that of the commercial sunscreen products. The results demonstrated that LCNFs with high whiteness could be efficiently prepared and have great potential to be applied in the anti-UV industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"31 18","pages":"10969 - 10984"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142754315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this challenge by developing novel, naturally derived coatings that enhance the fire resistance of textiles. Specifically, carbazole was polymerized in situ using benzoyl peroxide, with phosphoric acid facilitating both polymerization and functionalization to produce phosphorous-functionalized polycarbazole (P@PCz). This material improves the hydrophobicity and flame retardancy of cotton fabric. The study also involved the extraction of carbazole from Murraya koenigii bioresources, producing bioinspired phosphorus-functionalized polycarbazole (BP@PCz), achieving similar results. The synthesized nanocomposite-coated cotton fabric demonstrated exceptional flame-retardant and hydrophobic properties. Notably, P@PCz-coated cotton fabrics withstood continuous flame exposure for up to 585 s, compared to 62 s for PCz-coated fabrics and just 14 s for blank fabrics. Flame retardancy was further evaluated using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical flammability tests, with P@PCz-coated fabrics achieving an LOI value of 40.4%, significantly higher than the 23.2% for PCz-coated fabrics. Additionally, the water contact angle of P@PCz-coated cotton fabric was measured at 121.39°, indicating excellent hydrophobic properties. This study presents a novel approach for the rapid, large-scale synthesis of P@PCz, demonstrating its potential for various sustainable chemical applications, including enhanced hydrophobicity, and flame retardancy.

However, cellulose suffers from the degradation by NaClO in TBN oxidation, which can be directly reflected in the reduction of degree of polymerization of cellulose. In this paper, we explored the effect of the content of NaClO on oxidation and figured out an optimization method where NaClO was added periodically for TBN oxidation system (semi-batch process) that could efficiently oxidize hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HBKP) cellulose while reducing the degradation. This phenomenon is most obvious when the addition amount of NaClO is 10 mmol/g and the reaction time is 7.5 h, the carboxyl content of the TEMPO oxidized cellulose obtained by adding NaClO in different methods has no significant change (both are around 1.5 mmol/g), but the degree of polymerization of TEMPO oxidized cellulose obtained by adding NaClO periodically is 2.3 times that of TEMPO oxidized cellulose obtained by adding NaClO in one batch.

The study assesses the effectiveness of CNC/IPP oil blends as lubricants through tribological tests, including evaluations under pure sliding and rolling–sliding conditions. Studies on worn surfaces were conducted using surface roughness analysis, Raman mapping, and XPS, and the thermal stability was examined to determine their suitability for different operating conditions. CNCs significantly reduce friction by up to 44% and improve wear resistance compared to the neat IPP base oil, presumably due to a self-repairing effect. Furthermore, an improvement of the thermal conductivity of pure IPP base oil has been revealed with increasing CNC concentration.

The overall efficiency of the pretreatments was not negatively affected by the presence of lignin (3–4 wt%) in the starting pulps, as measured by the degree of fibrillation, degree of polymerization of cellulose, optical transmittance, and cationic group content (cationization). On the contrary, lignin could even enhance the mechanical fibrillation and the optical transmittance (transparency) of the cationic and enzymatic LCNF suspensions compared to the reference lignin-free nanocelluloses (CNFs) prepared from bleached pulp. Lignin could also improve the optical transparency of the films, which is an important finding of the present work: 64.8% for LCNF-Cationic (-Cat) vs. 56.9% for CNF-Cat, and 74.5% for LCNF-Enzymatic (-Enz) vs. 64.5% for CNF-Enz. Moreover, films with lignin demonstrated higher antioxidant activity, UV-light absorption capacity, larger char residue, and even improved oxygen barrier compared to the analogous CNF films. A remarkable oxygen barrier performance was exhibited by the LCNF-Enz film (oxygen transmission rate below 2 cm³/m².day).

Since CNFs are one of the new materials that can fulfill the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (hereafter abbreviated as SDGs), many researchers have been studying the nano-fibrillation of wood fibers. From the viewpoint of SDGs, it is necessary to avoid using a large amount of chemical agents and consuming a large amount of energy for the production of CNFs. To realize these requirements, it is important to find a way to industrially utilize CNFs containing insufficiently nanosized fibers, and for these purposes, it is essential to evaluate the physical properties of these CNFs from multiple perspectives. Cellulose fibers are intrinsically insulating materials, but how their electrochemical properties are changed by nano-fibrillization has been little studied. Therefore, we decided to clarify the relationship between the size of CNFs and the electrochemical impedance properties of the CNF suspensions containing un-fibrillated fibers, which were prepared by a wet refinement system. The fiber diameter remained constant as the number of mechanical treatments (hereafter referred to as the “number of collisions”) increased. On the other hand, the cumulative medium volume diameter, D₅₀, defined as the apparent fiber length (hereafter referred to as the “fiber length”, in microns), significantly decreases with the increasing number of collisions. The rheo-impedance |Z| of the CNF suspension remained nearly constant in the intermediate frequency range of 10³–10⁶ Hz, even if the internal structure of the system was deformed by the increasing shear rate. This means that the electrochemical properties of the CNFs are independent of the changes in the macroscopic aggregation structure. Furthermore, the internal resistance <i>R</i>₁ calculated from the impedance |Z| characteristics (Nyquist plot) became decreased with the increasing number of collisions, indicating a proportional relationship between the resistance <i>R</i>₁ and the CNF fiber length, D₅₀. This suggests that <i>R</i>₁ related to the resistance caused by the electrolyte in the suspensions or the protons dissociated by the hydration of the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose molecule as they move across the gaps between the microfibrils. Based on these results, it appears that the electrochemical properties of the CNF suspensions are independent of the changes in the macroscopic aggregation structure and simply depend on the fiber length, in other words, the electrochemical properties are a useful method for indirectly evaluating the fiber length of the CNFs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":511,"journal":{"name":"Cellulose","volume":"31 18","pages":"10771 - 10784"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10570-024-06242-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142754231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
