Effects of residual lignin on composition, structure and properties of mechanically defibrillated cellulose fibrils and films
Abstract This study investigated effects of residual lignin on composition, structure and properties of cellulose fibrils and cellulose fibril-based films by comparing two groups of cellulose fibrils which contained different amounts of lignin (15% and 2%, respectively) but were similar in cellulose to hemicellulose ratio. The results showed that lignin affected the size and content of nanofibril in cellulose fibrils through initially delaying but ultimately facilitating the mechanical defibrillation. Due to higher thermal stability and strong UV absorption capability, lignin enhanced the thermal stability and UV blocking properties of cellulose fibril-based film. Hydrophobic lignin also improved the dewatering of cellulose fibrils and the hydrophobicity of cellulose fibril-based film. Lignin interfered with the interfibrillar hydrogen bonding and therefore increased the mesopore diameter of cellulose fibril network. Lignin acting as a cement in cellulose fibril-based film made the film with a more densely packed structure, a higher density and a smoother surface. However, lignin decreased the transparency of cellulose fibril-based film due to its chromophore groups and impaired the mechanical strength of cellulose fibril-based film through interfering with the interfibrillar hydrogen bonding.
