Tóm tắt

In this study, we investigated the preparation of cationic/anionic chitin nanofiber (CNF) composite materials by electrostatic interaction. An aqueous dispersion of amidinium CNF was prepared by a top-down approach, and a maleylated CNF film was obtained by a bottom-up approach from a chitin ion gel in an ionic liquid with subsequent maleylation on the CNFs. The resulting film was dispersed in ammonia (aq), which was then mixed with the aqueous cationic CNF dispersion to give the composite film. The composition of the two CNFs was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. Tensile testing results indicated that the mechanical properties of the composites were enhanced with increasing degrees of substitution of the cationic and anionic groups on CNFs, and also when the molar ratio of these groups approached 1:1. The dissociation of the two kinds of CNFs by alkaline treatment of the composite film was achieved, suggesting the presence of an electrostatic interaction among the interactions between them.
