Preparation and Properties of Nanocellulose-Based Flame-Retardant Hydrophobic Aerogel
The hydrophilic and flammable properties of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) based aerogels limit their applications. To alleviate these challenges
using CNF as the matrix
both chitosan (CS) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)
2
) as the flame-retardant additives
and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the hydrophobic agent
a hydrophobic and flame-retardant CNF-based aerogel (named CCMP aerogel)was made through ultrasonic homogenization compounding and freeze-drying at a low temperature. The novel constructed CCMP aerogel presented a typical three-dimensional mesh structure and a low density (40.10 mg/cm³). The ultrasonic homogenization treatment evenly distributes CS and Mg(OH)
2
on CNF surface. Adding both CS and Mg(OH)
2
in the aerogels led limiting oxygen index (LOI) value up to 54.4%. Moreover
the added PDMS results a water contact angle (WCA) of 139.0 ± 1.3° in the hydrophilic CNF-based aerogel. This study provides a new approach for constructing CNF-based flame-retardant hydrophobic aerogels.
