Abstract

The work presented herein has been focused on reinforcing the furfural resins (FA) by reactive-modified nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) in an attempt to create a bio-nanocomposite completely based on natural resources. FA prepolymers were synthesized with an acid catalyst, and NCC was rendered reactive via the grafting of maleic anhydride (MAH). The resulting NCC and nanocomposites were characterized using TEM, SEM and FT-IR. It was found that NCC appeared to be spherical in shape with diameters under 100 nm. FT-IR confirmed that there were hydrogen and esterification bonding between MAH and NCC or FA prepolymer. After solidified with paratoluenesulfonic acid, NCC-reinforced FA resin composites showed granular cross-section while FA resin with layered structures. Mechanical property tests indicated that NCC-reinforced FA resin composites possessed the improved tensile and flexural strengths, in comparison with FA resin.
