A carbon-dioxide-switchable (CO2-switchable) hydrogel was prepared by adding imidazole to a suspension of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Sparging of CO2 through the imidazole-containing CNC suspension led to gelation of the CNCs, which was reversible by subsequent sparging with nitrogen (N2) to form a low-viscosity CNC suspension. The gelation process and the properties of the hydrogels have been investigated by rheology, ζ potential, pH, and conductivity measurements, and the gels were found to have interesting and reversible tunable mechanical properties. The present work describes a straightforward way to obtain switchable CNC hydrogels without the need to functionalize CNCs or add strong acids or bases. These CO2-responsive CNC hydrogels have potential for application in stimuli-responsive adsorbents, filters, and flocculants.

CO 2可转换纤维素纳米晶体水凝胶

通过将咪唑添加到纤维素纳米晶体(CNC)的悬浮液中来制备二氧化碳可转换(CO 2可转换)水凝胶。通过含咪唑的CNC悬浮液喷射CO 2会导致CNC凝胶化,这可通过随后注入氮气(N 2)形成低粘度的CNC悬浮液来逆转。通过流变学,ζ电势,pH和电导率测量研究了凝胶化过程和水凝胶的性质,发现该凝胶具有有趣且可逆的可调机械性能。本工作描述了无需转换CNC或添加强酸或强碱即可获得可转换CNC水凝胶的直接方法。这些CO 2响应性的CNC水凝胶具有潜在的刺激性吸附剂,过滤器和絮凝剂的应用。
