Description

Method for preparing carboxymethylated nanocellulose
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cellulose nanofiber preparation, and relates to a method for preparing carboxymethylated nanocellulose.
Background
Cellulose is a natural high molecular compound and a renewable resource which are most abundant on the earth, widely exists in cell walls of various higher plants, algae, fungi and the like, and has the advantages of environmental protection, no toxicity, renewability, biodegradability, low density, low cost, easy modification and the like. The cellulose nanofiber is a cellulose product with the diameter of 1-100 nanometers and the length of hundreds of nanometers or even a few micrometers, and the unique nanometer size of the cellulose nanofiber endows the cellulose nanofiber with various excellent properties such as high Young modulus, high tensile strength, high specific surface area, low thermal expansion coefficient, high water retention, preferable suspension thickening performance, unique shear thinning performance and the like, so that the cellulose nanofiber can be widely applied to the fields of papermaking, flexible electronics, buildings, automobiles, foods, cosmetics, medicines, coatings, energy sources, aviation and the like.
Carboxymethyl cellulose is an ether derivative obtained by carboxymethylation of cellulose, is also a product with the largest yield, the widest application and the most convenient use in cellulose ethers, is commonly called as industrial monosodium glutamate, and is widely applied to a plurality of fields of petroleum, textile, printing, papermaking, coating, batteries, food, cosmetics, medicine, building and the like. The carboxymethylated cellulose nano-fiber is a novel high-tech nano-material prepared by a special process. The industrial synthesis method of carboxymethylated cellulose is characterized by that it utilizes sodium hydroxide to treat natural cellulose to form alkali fibre, then adds chloroacetic acid to make substitution reaction so as to obtain the invented product. When the substitution degree of the carboxymethyl cellulose is less than 0.5, the prepared carboxymethyl cellulose crude fiber is insoluble in water and keeps higher crystallinity; when the degree of substitution is greater than 0.5, the carboxymethylated cellulose crude fiber begins to dissolve in water, thereby forming a viscous transparent solution. The preparation of carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibers includes the steps of preparing coarse carboxymethylated cellulose fibers with low substitution degree, and then carrying out nanocrystallization by a physical method. However, the carboxymethylated cellulose crude fiber prepared by the one-time etherification method is difficult to defibrate, thereby causing the defects of high preparation cost, low yield, uneven product size, unstable quality, poor dispersibility and the like. The main reason is that during the etherification, the carboxymethylated cellulose prepared by one-time etherification has poor substitution uniformity, carboxymethyl groups are mainly distributed on the surfaces of an amorphous area and a crystalline area of the crude cellulose fiber, and substitution reaction rarely occurs in the crystalline area, so that the crude cellulose fiber is difficult to defibrate or even cannot be defibrated. Therefore, new methods for preparing carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibers are desired.
