Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing cellulose nano-whiskers from microcrystalline cellulose in combination with alkali treatment and high-intensity ultrasound, comprising: soaking, alkali treatment, acid treatment, high-intensity ultrasonic treatment, and freeze-drying. On the premise of ensuring that the cellulose nano-whiskers remain Type I, the present invention creatively uses alkali treatment and low-concentration acid treatment for the first time to prepare cellulose nano-whiskers in combination with high-intensity ultrasound, avoiding the traditional use of high-concentration strong acid treatment. environmental pollution, waste of resources and time. The cellulose nano-whiskers prepared by the invention have better dispersibility and stability, are convenient to operate, do not need to consume a large amount of concentrated acid, and do not cause secondary pollution to the environment. The crystallinity of the finally prepared cellulose nano whiskers is more than 70%, the diameter is about 3-20nm, and the length is 200-400nm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing cellulose nano-whiskers from microcrystalline cellulose, more specifically to a method for preparing cellulose nano-whiskers from microcrystalline cellulose in combination with alkali treatment and high-intensity ultrasound, which belongs to nanomaterial preparation technology field. Background technique [0002] At least one dimension is in the range of nanoscale (1 ~ 100nm), or the materials composed of them as basic units are called nanomaterials. Cellulose nanowhiskers belong to ultrafine fibers with a diameter of less than 100nm, which have unique mechanical, thermodynamic and hydrodynamic properties, and can be widely used in the field of composite materials. Its blending with polymer materials can significantly change the mechanical, optical, thermal and electrical properties of polymer materials. In addition, cellulose nanowhiskers have very broad application prospects in cosmetics, food...
