    聚乙烯醇与硼酸改性醋酸纤维素的性能

    Properties of Cellulose Acetate Modified by Poly(vinyl alcohol) and Boric Acid

    • 摘要: 醋酸纤维素(CA)热加工窗口较窄,难以进行熔融加工,通过引入交联剂构建共价交联网络是提升醋酸纤维素力学性能的有效手段,但共价交联网络影响其重复加工性能。以聚乙烯醇(PVA)和硼酸(BA)为组合添加剂,在温和条件下,通过溶液加工法制备了基于可逆共价硼酸酯键的新型动态交联CA-BA-PVA材料。该方法简单、高效,且保持了醋酸纤维素材料的外观不变。结果表明,相较于未改性的醋酸纤维素,引入可逆交联聚合物网络,可提升醋酸纤维素的诸多性能,包括热稳定性、流变性能、抗蠕变性能和拉伸强度等。此外,该材料具有良好的可重复加工性,经过3次加工循环实验后,透明度以及拉伸性能均未发生显著变化。

       

      Abstract: Cellulose acetate (CA) is a significant biobased sustainable polymer with environmentally friendly, renewable, easily degradable and biocompatible features, which plays a crucial role in various fields. For example, it is widely used in the manufacture of a wide range of polymer materials, such as textiles, membranes, and cigarette filters. However, the narrow processing temperature range of CA polymers, due to the proximity between the viscous flow temperature (Tf) and decomposition temperature (Td), leads to difficulties in melt processing and limits the development of mechanically strengthened CA materials. Introducing crosslinking agents to establish covalent crosslinked networks is an effective approach to enhance the mechanical properties of CA materials, which is essential for the development of high-performance CA materials. However the covalent crosslinked network also restricts the re-processability of CA materials. In this work, a small amount of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and boric acid (BA) were employed to construct a novel dynamic crosslinked CA-BA-PVA material based on reversible covalent borate ester bond via solution processing under mild conditions. This method is simple, efficient, and maintains the appearance of CA materials unchanged. The results demonstrated that the introduction of the above reversible crosslinked polymer network enhanced many properties of CA materials, such as thermal stability, rheological property, creeping resistance and tensile strength, compared with unmodified cellulose acetate. Furthermore, due to the establishment of a dynamic crosslinked network, the CA materials exhibited good re-processability. They could be recycled three times without losing transparency and mechanical strength.
