Problems solved by technology

Oxygen permeability is proportional to the free space volume in the material, and bio-based materials swell due to moisture absorption, which can drastically reduce the performance of barrier films, making their application in many everyday products such as food packaging challenging

Embodiment 1

[0052] Example 1: Comparison of materials prepared from different compositions

[0053] Material

[0054] CNF preparation

[0055] 2 wt% CNF gel was provided by RISE bioeconomy (formerly Innventia), Stockholm, Sweden. The CNF was obtained from dissolving grade pulp which had been carboxymethylated to a charge density between 500-600 μmol / g prior to fibrillation. The gel was further homogenized using a microfluidizer through three passes in a continuous 200-100 chamber configuration, diluted to a dry content of 0.2 wt% in a volume of 900 mL, and dispersed using a superhomogenizer at 13000 rpm for 20 minutes. Gels were centrifuged at 4100 xg for 1 hour to remove larger aggregates or flocs.

[0056] The size of the fibrils was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) by adsorbing CNF from a 0.001 wt% dispersion for 1 min onto a plasma-treated silicon wafer (boron-doped, p-type, 610–640 μm) that had been coated with A polyvinylamine anchor layer (Lupamin 9095, BASF) was p...

Embodiment 2

[0103] Example 2: Importance of interpenetrating networks formed by different treatments.

[0104] Material

[0105] CNF:alginate materials were prepared following two different routes to assess the importance of interpenetrating networks. The first is the formation of an alginate network when the CNFs are in a swollen state (with many voids between physically locked fibrils), and the other is when the CNFs are dry, that is, in a collapsed state. The first material was cross-linked by introducing calcium ions into a never-dried CNF:alginate filter cake in a swollen state in Milli-Q water, and the second material was made by first drying the CNF:alginate film to make it The structure collapses and the amount of voids between the fibrils is reduced, followed by the introduction of calcium ions for cross-linking. Reference samples of CNF membranes treated with calcium ions were also prepared when the membrane was dry and in the swollen state, respectively. All samples were tes...

[0124] Example 3: Comparison of different CNF:alginate ratios

[0125] Material

[0126] Membranes of CNF:alginate complexes cross-linked with calcium ions were prepared at weight ratios of CNF:alginate of 90:10, 50:50 and 10:90 to study the effect of CNF:alginate ratio on complex The influence of the mechanical properties of the material in the wet state ( Figure 12 ).

[0127] CNF:Alginate 90:10Ca 2+ Preparation of composite membrane:

[0128] The membrane was prepared as described in Example 1.

[0129] CNF Ca 2+ Preparation of nanopaper:

[0130] The reference nanopaper was prepared according to the method described in Example 1.

[0131] with Ca 2+ Preparation of cross-linked CNF:alginate 50:50 and 10:90 films:

[0132] 0.2 wt% dispersed CNF was mixed with ~0.4 wt% alginate solution at different CNF:alginate ratios (50:50 and 10:90). The dispersion (700 mg dry weight) was supermixed at 9000 rpm for 9 minutes, degassed and then solvent casted using a 9.5 cm di...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a composite material comprising 65-99% by weight of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and 0.5-30% by weight of anionic gelling polysaccharide, calculated on the dry weight of the composite material. It further relates to a method of preparing the composite material, and the use of the composite material in packaging or as filament. Background technique [0002] Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are made of crystalline cellulose forming fibrils of high aspect ratio, which are the basic load structures of higher plants. Due to the nanoscale properties and the inherent strength of the cellulose crystal structure, CNFs are used in many interesting materials application studies. Because the film made of CNF has good barrier properties, it is hoped that in the packaging industry and other fields, CNF can be used to compete with petrochemical materials, and the nano-scale characteristics of CNF can also be used to develop processing route...
