Influence of Hydrophobicity of Acetylated Nanocellulose on the Mechanical Performance of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Composites

Novel acetylation process by substitution of acetic anhydride substitution with hydroxyl groups on nanocellulose (NCC) has been explored to increase its dispersion and interaction in nitrile butadiene (NBR) matrix. The crystallinity index was increased after modification when compared to unmodified...

description Novel acetylation process by substitution of acetic anhydride substitution with hydroxyl groups on nanocellulose (NCC) has been explored to increase its dispersion and interaction in nitrile butadiene (NBR) matrix. The crystallinity index was increased after modification when compared to unmodified NCC, but no significant different with increases of treatment time from 1 hour to 3 hours treatments proven by X-ray diffraction (XRD) results. The Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) showed the existent of acetyl groups on surface of the NCC after treatment by existent of the peak 1736 cm-1 that attributed to carbonyl groups some peaks were observed at 1430, 1361 and 1248 cm-1 and confirmed on the acetylation process. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) also show the present of acetyl groups by existent of the signal of proton methyl group at 1.90 ppm and new peaks at 5.42, 4.70 and 4.34 ppm, for all ACN samples. The thermal results by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the acetylated NCCs were 10 % more thermally stable. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) results showed that no significant changes were observed due to the acetylation process. The results also showed well distributed of individual NCC after acetylation, this improvement was primarily attributed to uniform dispersion of the ACN-NCC and less aggregated occurred. Due to its hydrophobic characteristics, highly crystalline and nano size, ACN-NCC brought a significant improvement up to 25 % on the mechanical properties of nitrile butadiene (NBR) rubber composites.
