“…Composites containing lignocellulosic fillers are an ideal alternative to fully synthetic plastics and perfectly fit into ecological trends (Sabu Thomas, P. M. Visakh 2012; Sandberg et al 2017;Cao et al 2020;Zhu et al 2020). They gained popularity owing to very good mechanical properties, weather resistance, and low price (Bledzki and Gassan 1999;Mohanty et al 2000;Ashori 2008;Arwinfar et al 2016;Alan and Ada Pui Yan Hung 2017;Martins et al 2017).…”

Innovative ionic liquids as functional agent for wood-polymer composites

Chemical modification of lignocellulosic fillers is a hydrophobization process that has been used for years in the production of wood-polymer composites (WPCs). However, finding new, more effective modifiers is still a big challenge and remains the subject of much research. This study involved the chemical modification of wood with the use of newly designed ammonium and imidazolium ionic liquids containing reactive functional groups. The effectiveness of the modification was confirmed using FTIR and XRD techniques. The effect of modification of wood on the supermolecular structure and morphology of wood-polymer composites was investigated by X-ray diffraction, hot stage optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. A significant influence of the modifier structure on the shaping of polymorphic varieties of the polymer matrix was demonstrated. The chemical modification also had significant effect on the nucleating properties of the wood fillers, which was confirmed by the determined crystallization parameters (crystallization half-time, crystallization temperature, crystal conversion). Moreover, the formation of a transcrystalline PP layer was noticed, which showed a large variation depending on the structure of the used ionic liquid. The obtained results correlated very well with the results of mechanical tests. It has been shown that it is possible to precisely design an ionic liquid containing a reactive functional group capable of interacting with hydroxyl groups of cellulose molecules. Moreover, the possibility of functionalizing the lignocellulosic material with innovative ionic liquids without the need to use organic solvents has not been demonstrated so far. Graphic abstract

“…They are also characterized by good behavior with the external environment, as they can be exposed to the effect of weather conditions without need for impregnation. [3,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12] Unfortunately, during the production of WPC, some problems associated with low compatibility of components can be encountered. Lignocellulose fibers displays a highly polar character, whereas thermoplastic polymers are hydrophobic materials.…”

The thermal modification of wood can be an interesting way of improving adhesion in polymer composites, although the mechanical properties of composites with heat treated wood presented so far in many works arouse much controversy. In this work, effects of thermal modification of wood on the supermolecular structure and morphology of wood/polypropylene composites (WPC) were investigated using X-ray diffraction, hot stage optical microscopy,

“…A number of new nanomaterials with various excellent properties have been found and prepared in order to satisfy the development of social industry (Roduner 2006). Among them, due to increasingly serious environmental problems, nanocellulose with biocompatibility, renewable and sustainable properties have evoked particular attention and become an advanced raw material which has been widely investigated in the eld of electronics (Nogi & Yano 2008), water ltration (Cao et al 2013;Cao et al 2020), medicine (Aziz et al 2021), tissue engineering scaffolds (Luo et al 2019;Ávila et al 2015), sewage treatment (Ji et al 2017), drug delivery materials (Müller et al 2013), and etc.…”

Cellulose nanowhiskers as one kind of renewable and biocompatible nanomaterials evoke much interest because of its versatility in various applications. Herein, the sisal cellulose nanowhiskers with length of 100–500 nm, ultrathin diameter of 6–61 nm, high crystallinity of 74.74 % and C6 carboxylate groups converted from C6 primary hydroxyls were prepared via a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system selective oxidization combined with mechanical homogenization. The effects of sodium hydroxide concentration in alkali pretreatment on the final sisal cellulose nanowhiskers were explored. It was found that with the increase of sodium hydroxide concentration, the sisal fiber crystalline type would change from cellulose I to cellulose II. The versatile sisal cellulose nanowhiskers would be particularly useful for applications in the nanocomposites as reinforcing phase, as well as in tissue engineering, filtration, pharmaceutical and optical industries as additives.
