Abstract

In this paper, porous nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) films were utilized to produce water-resistant, porous cellulose films. Film porosities of ~ 50% were achieved through solvent exchange from water to acetone, and the resulting films were hydrophobized with an epoxy modifier in non-swelling conditions in acetone, yielding films that were non-wettable by water but permeable to water vapor. The mass transport mechanisms of gaseous and liquid water were studied by water vapor transfer rate (WVTR), water vapor uptake and water contact angle measurements to unfold how these properties were achieved. Surface hydrophobization was found to decrease the moisture uptake but it did not prevent it completely. The WVTR values were in effect similar for the initial and hydrophobized films, even if the water contact angles were higher in the latter. We anticipate that the porous and hydrophobic NFC films presented in this paper may find applications in sportswear, medical, or personal hygiene products.
