Hydrophobic, ultraviolet radiation-shielding, and antioxidant functionalities of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibril film coated with modified lignin nanoparticles

초록

In this study, lignin nanoparticles (LN) and octadecylamine-modified LN (LN-ODA) were utilized as coating materials to enhance the hydrophobic, antioxidant, and ultraviolet radiation-shielding (UV-shielding) properties of a TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose film (TOCNF). The water contact angle (WCA) of the TOCNF was approximately 53 degrees and remained stable for 1 min, while the modified LN-ODA-coated TOCNF reached over 130 degrees and maintained approximately 85 degrees for an hour. Pure TOCNF exhibited low antioxidant properties (4.7 %), which were significantly enhanced in TOCNF-LN (81.6 %) and modified LN-ODA (10.3 % to 27.5 %). Modified LNODA-coated TOCNF exhibited antioxidant properties two to six times higher than those of pure TOCNF. Modified LN-ODA exhibited thermal degradation max (Tmax) at 421 degrees C, while pure LN showed the main degradation temperature at approximately Tmax 330 degrees C. The thermal stability of TOCNF-LN-ODA-coated materials remained consistent with that of pure TOCNF, while the crystallinity index of the sample showed a slight decrease due to the amorphous nature of the lignin structure. The tensile strength of TOCNF was approximately 114.1 MPa and decreased to 80.1, 51.3, and 30.3 MPa for LN-ODA coating at 5, 10, and 15 g/m2, respectively.
