Atomic Force Microscopy Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals

Abstract: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are gaining interest as a "green" nanomaterial with superior mechanical and chemical properties for high-performance nanocomposite materials; however, there is a lack of accurate material property characterization of individual CNCs. Here, a detailed study of the topography, elastic and adhesive properties of individual wood-derived CNCs is performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM experiments involving high-resolution dynamic mode imaging and jump-mode measurements were … Show more

“…This length was only about 11 nm in the present experiments, uncorrected for disorder. Published axial Scherrer dimensions vary (19) as the width of the 004 reflection is often little greater than the instrumental broadening, but this dimension is clearly less than the length of nanocrystals prepared from wood cellulose (75) or isolated single sheets of chains (30). Some other feature must therefore contribute to the loss of axial coherence.…”

“…[6,38] As propriedades mecânicas dos vários tipos de partículas de celulose estão resumidas na Tabela 2, além de outros tipos de fibras e nanopartículas, utilizados em comparações futuras. Fontes: [6] e [38] De acordo com os dados médios experimentais apresentados na Tabela 2, os nanocristais de celulose, de modo geral, podem apresentar maior rigidez do que fibras de Kevlar-49 e de vidro e valores equivalentes aos obtidos para fibras de carbono e nanopartículas de argila, quando se compara os valores médios do módulo elástico no sentido longitudinal (E l ). Além disso, os nanocristais de celulose possuem a vantagem da baixa densidade, aliada a altos valores para E l .…”

“…[6,14,38,39] Tais propriedades mecânicas têm sido medidas experimentalmente utilizando ensaios de tração in situ, combinados com difração de raios X (DRX). Entretanto, como esta técnica presume perfeita transferência de carga e orientação dos cristais de celulose dentro das microfibrilas ao longo do eixo de carregamento, o que, necessariamente, não acontece, os valores de E obtidos podem ser subestimados, quando comparados com os valores experimentais.…”
