Preparation of high-performance cellulose composite membranes from LiOH/urea solvent system

New green solvent system alkali (such as NaOH and LiOH)/urea which could rapidly dissolve cellulose could be potentially used to prepare high-performance regenerated cellulose materials with low cost. Pure regenerated cellulose materials have relatively low strength inherent effects. In this work, w...

Preparation of high-performance cellulose composite membranes from LiOH/urea solvent system
description New green solvent system alkali (such as NaOH and LiOH)/urea which could rapidly dissolve cellulose could be potentially used to prepare high-performance regenerated cellulose materials with low cost. Pure regenerated cellulose materials have relatively low strength inherent effects. In this work, we choose TEMPO-oxide cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and graphene oxide (GO) as fillers to prepare isotropic regenerated cellulose membrane (RCM) with significantly enhanced mechanical properties. Dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) test shows that RCM with content of 5 wt% CNF has the maximum enhancement value of 32.5% improvement comparing with pure RCM.

We employ transmission electron microscopy to confirm the structure of fillers in solution and scanning electron microscopy to observe the microstructures of these RCMs. The results are consistent with DMA tests. In addition, XRD results confirm that the crystal structure of RCMs is the same with RCMs without filler.
