Effect of Na2CO3 on the Microstructure and Macroscopic Properties and Mechanism Analysis of PVA/CMC Composite Film

Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/carboxyl methyl cellulose sodium (CMC)/Na2CO3 composite films with different contents of Na2CO3 were prepared by blending and solution-casting. The effect of Na2CO3 on the microstructure of PVA/CMC composite film was analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Its macroscopic properties were analyzed by water sorption, solubility, and dielectric constant tests. The results show that the microstructure of PVA/CMC/Na2CO3 composite films was different from that of PVA and PVA/CMC composite films. In addition, compared to PVA and PVA/CMC composite films, the water sorption of PVA/CMC/Na2CO3 composite films relatively increased, the solubility in water significantly decreased, and the dielectric properties significantly improved. All these results indicate that the hydrogen bonding interaction between PVA and CMC increased and the crystallinity of PVA decreased after the addition of Na2CO3. This was also a direct factor leading to increased water sorption, decreased solubility, and enhanced dielectric properties. The reaction mechanism of PVA, CMC, and Na2CO3 is proposed to further evaluate the effect of Na2CO3 on the microstructure and macroscopic properties of PVA/CMC/Na2CO3 composite films.

Adsorption of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution by a novel PVA/CMC/halloysite nanoclay bio composite: Characterization, kinetics, isotherm and antibacterial properties

“…1a. The neat PVA/CMC membrane displayed a sharp reflection at 2θ = 20°, corresponding to the (101) lattice planes of PVA and semi crystalline nature of CMC [78,100]. An additional peak appeared at 2θ = 12.1°for nanoclay loaded membrane corresponds to the reflection from (001) plane of halloysite nanoclay [32].…”

A review of Polyvinyl alcohol / Carboxiy methyl cellulose (PVA/CMC) composites for various applications

“…According to Zhu et al [70], pure PVA exhibited low dielectric constant, and the increase in the dielectric constant was observed for PVA/ CMC composite film.…”

“…According to this study, the cross-linked PVA-based composite could provide a good balance between the salt rejection and the permeate flux under lower operating pressure. Tajeddin et al [69] also reported the water absorption of 22.03 percent for PVA/CMC blend film prepared by the casting method after 24 h. Zhu et al [70] stated that the pure PVA film had low water sorption and it enhanced by adding CMC to the composite film. This was reported to be due to the blending of two different molecule types resulting in the structure deformation and making more hydrophilic networks.…”

Magnetic Properties and Environmental Temperature Effects on Battery Performance of Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2

“…The Whatman membranes are fabricated using borosilicate glass and the main peak of the FTIR spectra in this study is due to BO 4 at 1031 cm −1 . [ 31 ] When the battery is cycled, the peaks belonging to Na 2 CO 3 , [ 32 ] SiC, and CO and CH 2 bonds are present for all environmental temperatures. The turquoise‐colored region of peaks is due to ClO 4 − , C=O, OH, and NaClO 4 phases.…”
