摘要 Environmentally friendly and lightweight silylated cellulose nanocrystal (SCNCs)/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composite films that exhibit excellent mechanical properties and water resistance were prepared. The cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) of the filamentous structure were surface-modified by gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and then introduced into a castor oil-based aqueous polyurethane (WPU) matrix by in situ polymerization. The morphology and silylation degree of CNCs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier infrared transform spectroscopy at different APTES concentrations. The results showed that the surface of the nanocellulose crystal has the best silylation morphology and thermal stability with incorporation of 6 wt % APTES. The thermal stability, mechanical properties, surface morphology, and water resistance of the nanocomposites were investigated by TGA, tensile test, SEM and optical contact angle, water absorption test, and mechanical property test after immersed in water. It was found that the effective introduction of modified CNCs resulted in a significant increase in tensile strength at high levels, and the thermal stability and hydrophobicity of the material were improved simultaneously, reaching the percolation threshold at a 0.50 wt % SCNCs as determined theoretically. This study provided an approach to the design and development of surface-modified CNCs/vegetable oil-based polymer composites by using an appropriate concentration of silane coupling agent to modify CNCs and improve the compatibility between nanocellulose and vegetable oil-based polymer matrices.
