Abstract:

To enhance the flammability and mechanical strength of cellulose nanofiber(CNF) aerogels, nanoscale montmorillonite (MMT) were introduced to CNF suspension, followed by a freeze-drying process to obtain CNF/MMT composite aerogels in this work. The effects of MMT content on the morphology characterization, compressive mechanical properties, thermal stability, thermal conductivity and flame retardancy of CNF/MMT composite aerogels were studied. The results show that the presence of MMT resulted in a denser lamellar structure of aerogels, which improved the mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardancy of aerogels. When the mass fraction of MMT is 50%, it is found that the CNF/MMT composite aerogels reaches the maximum density but only as low as 0.016 8 g/cm3, that the maximum stress becomes 12.45 kPa at 10% strain and 77.93 kPa at 70% strain, and that the maximum thermal conductivity is 0.04 W/(m·K). The limiting oxygen index values of CNF/MMT based aerogels shows significant increase when the mass fraction of MMT in aerogels is no less than 42.9%.

Key words: cellulose nanofiber, aerogel, montmorillonite, freeze-drying method, flame retardancy
