Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of cellulose materials, and particularly relates to a cellulose high-strength hydrogel material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a polymer material with a three-dimensional network structure, hydrogel has shown broad application prospects in the fields of biomedicine and environmental engineering due to its high water absorption, biocompatibility and adjustable physical and chemical properties. Traditional hydrogels such as polyacrylamide generally have the problem of insufficient mechanical properties and are prone to structural collapse under mechanical loads such as tension and compression, which seriously limits their application in complex working conditions. In order to improve the mechanical strength, existing technologies mostly use the introduction of synthetic polymers (such as polyurethane), inorganic nanofillers (such as clay, SiO 2 ), but these methods often rely on chemical cross-linking agents or complex modification steps, resulting in reduced biodegradability of materials, increased costs, and the possible introduction of potentially toxic substances.

[0003] In recent years, hydrogels based on natural cellulose have attracted much attention due to their renewability and environmental friendliness. As the most abundant biomass resource in nature, cellulose has abundant hydroxyl groups between its molecular chains that can form a physical cross-linked network through hydrogen bonding, and has the potential to construct high-strength hydrogels. However, the mechanical properties of existing cellulose hydrogels are still difficult to meet actual needs. The main reason is that its network structure is loose and the interfacial bonding force between micron-sized fibers is weak. For example, the cellulose hydrogel disclosed in CN119019714A is prepared by dissolution in an alkaline solution system, emulsification treatment and ethanol vapor regeneration. Although the use of chemical cross-linking agents is avoided, the processing process is complicated and its tensile strength is generally lower than 1MPa; CN115819799A adopts a strategy of partially dissolving longitudinally arranged hemp fibers. Although the process flow is simplified, the improvement of mechanical properties is limited, and the skeleton formed by the fiber arrangement also sacrifices the tensile ability of the hydrogel and reduces its toughness. In addition, some studies have introduced ionic cross-linking (such as Ca 2+ ) enhances the mechanical properties, but sacrifices the all-natural properties of the material and may affect its biocompatibility. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cellulose high-strength hydrogel material with excellent mechanical strength, so as to solve the problems of low mechanical strength and poor structural stability of existing cellulose hydrogel materials; another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the cellulose high-strength hydrogel material, which does not require exogenous additives and has a simple preparation process.

[0022] Further preferably, the aqueous solution required for soaking contains alcohols, and the mass percentage concentration range is 1% - 20%.

[0023] Further preferably, the alcohols include ethanol and isopropanol.

[0024] The present invention is a regenerated cellulose hydrogel material with high strength prepared by dissolving a cellulose material in a cellulose green solvent system and then inducing molding under specific environmental conditions.

In addition, the green solvent system used in the preparation process of the present invention avoids the use of toxic chemical substances, conforming to the concepts of green chemistry and sustainable development. In summary, the present invention not only provides a cellulose hydrogel with high mechanical properties but also provides a green, economical and easy-to-scale-up preparation method, having important scientific significance and practical value.

[0094] Examples 13 - 19

[0095] The preparation methods of Examples 13 - 19 are as follows:

[0098] (3) After washing the shaped sample with water, a cellulose high-strength hydrogel is obtained.

[0099] Among them, the specific cellulose material, cellulose solvent system, mass fraction of the cellulose material in the system, crosslinking and shaping temperature, crosslinking and shaping humidity, and crosslinking and shaping time are shown in the following table:

[0100]

[0101] Comparative Example 1

[0102] The rest are the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0103] After the sample stands for 60 h, take 36 g and evenly coat it on the surface of a 20 cm × 20 cm sheet glass mold, without any treatment, and directly immerse it in water for regeneration to obtain a hydrogel film.

[0104] The obtained hydrogel film has a thickness of 1150 μm, a tensile strength of 0.96 MPa, a tensile strain of 64.11%, and a water content of 89.2%. For the tensile stress-strain curve of the hydrogel film, see Figure 4 .

[0105] Comparative Example 2

[0106] The rest are the same as in Example 2, except that:

[0107] After the sample stands for 7 days, pour it into a cuboid polypropylene mold with dimensions of 5 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm, without any treatment, and directly immerse it in water for regeneration to obtain a hydrogel block.

[0108] The compressive strength of the obtained hydrogel block reaches 17.62 MPa, the compressive strain is 74.71%, and the water content is 86.7%. See the tensile stress-strain curve of the hydrogel block in Figure 5 .

[0109] Comparative Examples 3-6

[0110] The preparation methods of Comparative Examples 3-6 are the same as those of Example 13 in other respects, except for whether to wash with water, different temperatures or different humidities. The specific preparation method is as follows:

[0111] (1) Dissolve the cellulose material in the cellulose solvent system;

[0112] (2) Crosslink and shape at a certain temperature and humidity;

[0113] (3) After the formed sample is washed or not washed with water, a cellulose hydrogel is obtained.

[0114] Among them, the specific cellulose material, cellulose solvent system, mass fraction of cellulose material in the system, crosslinking and shaping temperature, crosslinking and shaping humidity, crosslinking and shaping time, and whether it is washed with water are shown in the following table:

[0115]

[0116] It can be seen that by comparing Example 13 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that if not washed with water, although the hydrogel formed by pre-gelation initially forms a tight cross-linked network structure, the complete regeneration process has not been achieved, resulting in the existence of liquid gel regions inside the cross-linked network, with many defects, a significant decrease in tensile stress, and the residual solvent inside the hydrogel also has an adverse effect on its mechanical properties; by comparing Example 13 and Comparative Examples 4-5, it can be seen that if the temperature is not in the range of 25°C - 150°C, the formed structure will be relatively loose or too dense due to the too slow or too rapid cross-linking process. The internal pores and other defects of the loose structure increase, and the overly dense structure is not conducive to the deformation of the hydrogel, both of which result in a decrease in the tensile strength of the obtained hydrogel; by comparing Example 13 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that if the humidity does not meet the requirement of being less than or equal to 40%, the high humidity environment has no significant effect on the solvent volatilization and cellulose regeneration process during pre-gelation, resulting in no obvious improvement in the mechanical properties of the hydrogel.
