Abstract

Microcrystalline cellulose/nano-SiO2 composite films have been successfully prepared from solutions in ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride by a facile and economic method. The microstructure and properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, water contact angle, thermal gravimetric analyses, and tensile testing. The results revealed that the well-dispersed nanoparticles exhibit strong interfacial interactions with cellulose matrix. The thermal stability and tensile strength of the cellulose nanocomposite films were significantly improved over those of pure regenerated cellulose film. Furthermore, the cellulose nanocomposite films exhibited better hydrophobicity and a lower degree of swelling than pure cellulose. This method is believed to have potential application in the field of fabricating cellulose-based nanocomposite film with high performance, thus enlarging the scope of commercial application of cellulose-based materials.
