Transformation of Specific Dispersion Interactions between Cellulose and Polyacrylonitrile in Solutions into Covalent Interactions in Fibers. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5843. [PMID: 37687536 PMCID: PMC10489092 DOI: 10.3390/ma16175843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Morphological transformations in emulsions of cellulose and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) ternary copolymers containing acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, and methylsulfonate comonomers in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide were studied over the entire range of concentrations depending on temperature and intensity of the deformation action. Based on the morphological and rheological features of the system, the temperature-concentration range of spinnability of mixed solutions was determined, and composite fibers were spun. The fibers are characterized by a heterogeneous fibrillar texture. Studies of the structure of the fibers, carried out using X-ray diffraction analysis, revealed a decrease in cellulose crystallinity with an increase in the content of PAN. The study of the thermal properties of the obtained fibers, carried out using DSC, and chemical transformations in them in a wide temperature range by high-temperature diffuse reflection IR spectroscopy made it possible to reveal a new intense exothermic peak on the thermograms at 360 °C, which according to the IR spectra corresponds to the transformation of intermacromolecular physical interactions of the PAN and cellulose into covalent bonds between polymers. In addition, the ester groups found during the thermal treatment of the PAN part of the composite fibers in the pyrolysis zone can have a key effect on the process of their further carbonization.

Development of Porous-Polyacrylonitrile-Based Fibers Using Nanocellulose Additives as Precursor for Carbon Fiber Manufacturing. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030565. [PMID: 36771866 PMCID: PMC9920794 DOI: 10.3390/polym15030565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Cellulose is a renewable and environmentally friendly raw material that has an important economic and technical impact in several applications. Recently, nanocellulose (NC) presented a promising road to support the manufacturing of functional carbon fibers (CFs), which are considered superior materials for several applications because of their outstanding properties. However, the smooth and limited effective surface areas make CFs virtually useless in some applications, such as energy storage. Therefore, strategies to increase the porosity of CFs are highly desirable to realize their potential. Within this article, we present an approach that focuses on the designing of porous CF precursors using polyacrilonitrile (PAN) and NC additives using a wet spinning method. To enhance the porosity, two jet stretching (50% and 100%) and four NC additive amounts (0 wt.%, 0.1 wt.%, 0.4 wt.% and 0.8 wt.%) have been applied and investigated. In comparison with the reference PAN fibers (without NC additives and stretching), the results showed an increase in specific surface area from 10.45 m2/g to 138.53 m2/g and in total pore volume from 0.03 cm3/g to 0.49 cm3/g. On the other hand, mechanical properties have been affected negatively by NC additives and the stretching process. Stabilization and carbonization processes could be applied in a future study to support the production of multifunctional porous CF.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses, derived from various plants or specific bacteria, represent the renewable and sophisticated nano building blocks for emerging functional materials. Especially, the assembly of nanocelluloses as fibrous materials can mimic the structural organization of their natural counterparts to integrate various functions, thus holding great promise for potential applications in various fields, such as electrical device, fire retardance, sensing, medical antibiosis, and drug release. Due to the advantages of nanocelluloses, a variety of fibrous materials have been fabricated with the assistance of advanced techniques, and their applications have attracted great interest in the past decade. This review begins with an overview of nanocellulose properties followed by the historical development of assembling processes. There will be a focus on assembling techniques, including traditional methods (wet spinning, dry spinning, and electrostatic spinning) and advanced methods (self-assembly, microfluidic, and 3D printing). In particular, the design rules and various influencing factors of assembling processes related to the structure and function of fibrous materials are introduced and discussed in detail. Then, the emerging applications of these nanocellulose-based fibrous materials are highlighted. Finally, some perspectives, key opportunities, and critical challenges on future research trends within this field are proposed.

Abstract
Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber is soft and comfortable, but its poor strength compared to other synthetic fibers has limited it wide range of applications. This study effectively improved the strength of PAN fibers by adding graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) during PAN spinning. The composite fibers were prepared via gel spinning and subsequent hot drawing process. The results show that the PVA molecular chains embedded into the PAN molecular chain significantly improved the mechanical properties of the hybrid fiber. At the same time, the defect reduced the UV resistance and thermal stability of the hybrid fibers only when the PVA molecular was introduced in the PAN. Surprisingly, after the recomposition of GO in the above mixed polymer system, the interaction between the GO and matrix not only improved the mechanical properties of the fiber, but also enhanced the UV resistance and thermal stability. In addition, when the amount of GO was 0.3 wt%, the crystallinity of the GO/PVA/PAN composite fiber reached the maximum and the tensile strength was the highest. This strategic approach suggests an effective method to prepare graphene-based ternary composites fibers with high strength and novel functional characteristics.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have brought great changes to human society, and development has gradually shifted the focus to environmentally friendly applications. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are new one-dimensional nanomaterials that exhibit environmental friendliness and ensure the biological safety of water environment. CNCs have excellent physical and chemical properties, such as simple preparation process, nanoscale size, high specific surface area, high mechanical strength, good biocompatibility, high hydrophilicity and antifouling ability. Because of these characteristics, CNCs are widely used in ultrafiltration membranes, nanofiltration membranes and reverse osmosis membranes to solve the problems hindering development of membrane technology, such as insufficient interception and separation efficiency, low mechanical strength and poor antifouling performance. This review summarizes recent developments and uses of CNCs in water treatment membranes and discusses the challenges and development prospects of CNCs materials from the perspectives of ecological safety and human health by comparing them with traditional one-dimensional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The generated sp2 hybrid conjugate structure of a C atom, which resulted from the chemical reaction affected by temperature and time, is an effective six-membered ring planar structure of the final carbon fiber. This kind of hybrid conjugate structure determined the formation of the final structure and mechanical properties of carbon fiber. In this paper, the formation and evolution of sp2 hybrid conjugated structures of PAN precursor during thermal stabilization were investigated by Raman, UV-vis and 13C-NMR methods. The results indicated that with the increase of stabilization temperature, the degree of the sp2 hybrid conjugated structure of stabilized PAN fiber increases "linearly", while the content of the sp2 hybrid carbon atoms increases with "S-type". The final sp2 hybrid conjugated ring structure is mainly composed of single-ring, double-ring, triple-ring, and double-bond structures. Compared with the time factor, the temperature effect plays a decisive role in the formation of the sp2 hybrid conjugate structure.

Abstract
Although polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers have been successfully commercialized owing to their excellent material properties, their actual mechanical performance is still much lower than the theoretical values. Meanwhile, there is a growing demand for the use of superior carbon fibers. As such, many studies have been conducted to improve the mechanical performance of carbon fibers. Among the various approaches, designing a strong precursor fiber with a well-developed microstructure and morphology can constitute the most effective strategy to achieve superior performance. In this review, the efforts used to modulate materials, processing, and additives to deliver strong precursor fibers were thoroughly investigated. Our work demonstrates that the design of materials and processes is a fruitful pathway for the enhancement of the mechanical performance of carbon fibers.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, as a biobased versatile nanomaterial that can be derived with tailorable surface functionalities, dimensions, and morphologies, has considerable implications for modifying the rheology, mechanical reinforcement, and influencing the carbonization efficiency in the production of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers. Herein, we report the influence of three different nanocellulose types, varying in the derivatization method, source, and aspect ratio, on the mechanical properties and thermal transformations of solution-spun PAN/nanocellulose nanocomposite fibers into carbon fibers. The incorporation of 0.1 wt % nanocellulose into solution-spun PAN fibers led to a 7-19% increase in tensile modulus and 0-27% increase in tensile strength in the solution-spun fibers, compared to a control PAN fiber. These improvements varied depending on the nanocellulose type. After low-temperature carbonization at 1200 °C, improvements in the mechanical properties of the nanocellulose-reinforced carbon fibers, compared with a PAN fiber, were also observed. In contrast to the precursor fibers, the improvement % in the carbonized fibers was found to be dependent on the nanocellulose morphology and was linearly correlated with increasing aspect ratio of nanocellulose. For example, in carbon fibers with a cotton-derived low-aspect-ratio cellulose nanocrystal and spinifex-derived high-aspect-ratio CNC and nanofiber, up to 4, 87, and 172% improvements in tensile moduli were observed, respectively. Due to the processing methods used, the nanocellulose aspect ratio and crystallinity are inversely related, and as such, the increase in the carbon fiber mechanical properties was also related to a decrease in crystallinity of the nanocellulose reinforcers. Raman spectra and electron microscopy analysis suggest that mechanical improvement after carbonization is due to internal reinforcement by highly ordered regions surrounding the carbonized nanocellulose, within the turbostratic carbon fibers.

Abstract
Safety of drinking-water is an urgent for human health. It is critical to promote the cheap technologies for water purification to guarantee the free-pathogens-drinking water. The present study has been investigated the antibacterial activity of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers membranes which decorated by Ag, CuO or ZnO nanoparticles as bactericides. The hybrid nanofiber composites were fabricated by electrospinning technique and the obtained membranes were characterized using SEM, EDX and FTIR. Their antibacterial activity was evaluated against E. coli and S. aureus. The data was revealed that the functionalization was successfully obtained by the incorporation of nanoparticles as an additive into the polymer solution which associated many superior properties. Continuous PAN membrane fibers with average diameters from 170 to 250 nm without any beads of plain and its hybrid membrane composites were obtained. The antimicrobial activity was estimated using both disk diffusion tests and growth kinetic models. The antibacterial activity was improved as the concentrations of nanoparticles enhanced. This study provided the real solution for production and inactivation of bacteria which related to the impregnated the PAN nanofibers membrane with Ag, CuO or ZnO NPs. The results have significant implications for finding a safe and an inexpensive path to solve the problems of drinking water, especially in the developing countries.

Abstract
There is an emerging quest for lightweight materials with excellent mechanical properties and economic production, while still being sustainable and functionalizable. They could form the basis of the future bioeconomy for energy and material efficiency. Cellulose has long been recognized as an abundant polymer. Modified celluloses were, in fact, among the first polymers used in technical applications; however, they were later replaced by petroleum-based synthetic polymers. Currently, there is a resurgence of interest to utilize renewable resources, where cellulose is foreseen to make again a major impact, this time in the development of advanced materials. This is because of its availability and properties, as well as economic and sustainable production. Among cellulose-based structures, cellulose nanofibrils and nanocrystals display nanoscale lateral dimensions and lengths ranging from nanometers to micrometers. Their excellent mechanical properties are, in part, due to their crystalline assembly via hydrogen bonds. Owing to their abundant surface hydroxyl groups, they can be easily modified with nanoparticles, (bio)polymers, inorganics, or nanocarbons to form functional fibers, films, bulk matter, and porous aerogels and foams. Here, some of the recent progress in the development of advanced materials within this rapidly growing field is reviewed.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were sulfonated and the dispersion quality was compared to unfunctionalized and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO) post-oxidation treatment of existing CNF (mechanically fibrillated pulp). A post-sulfonation treatment on existing CNF in chlorosulfonic acid and dimethylformamide (DMF) resulted in sulfonated CNF that retained a fibril-like morphology. There was a small decrease in the cellulose crystallinity index for the sulfonated CNF, but this was much lower than the reported regioselective oxidative bisulfite pretreatment method used to make sulfonated CNF. The current approach was extremely quick, and 5min of reaction time was sufficient to result in significant improvements in dispersibility compared to unfunctionalized CNF. The sulfonated CNF and TEMPO oxidized CNF had better dispersibility compared to the unfunctionalized CNF when dispersed in DMF and water, and in many cases the sulfonated CNF had better dispersibility than the TEMPO CNF. It was found that when CNF was dispersed in DMF the TEMPO CNF formed carboxyl dimethylammonium groups, while the sulfonated CNF formed formate groups.

Electrospun Nanofibers Made of Silver Nanoparticles, Cellulose Nanocrystals, and Polyacrylonitrile as Substrates for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2017; 10:E68.

Abstract
Nanofibers with excellent activities in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) were developed through electrospinning precursor suspensions consisting of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Rheology of the precursor suspensions, and morphology, thermal properties, chemical structures, and SERS sensitivity of the nanofibers were investigated. The electrospun nanofibers showed uniform diameters with a smooth surface. Hydrofluoric (HF) acid treatment of the PAN/CNC/Ag composite nanofibers (defined as p-PAN/CNC/Ag) led to rougher fiber surfaces with certain pores and increased mean fiber diameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirmed the existence of AgNPs that were formed during heat and HF acid treatment processes. In addition, thermal stability of the electrospun nanofibers increased due to the incorporation of CNCs and AgNPs. The p-PAN/CNC/Ag nanofibers were used as a SERS substrate to detect p-aminothiophenol (p-ATP) probe molecule. The results show that this substrate exhibited high sensitivity for the p-ATP probe detection.
