Phase separation patterned films of natural materials: Preparation of mixed monolayers of nanocellulose integrates and organo‐modified nanoclays

Mixed monolayers of cellulose acetate and organo-modified montmorillonite were prepared on a water surface, their morphologies structures evaluated. Cellulose exhibited an integrated morphology nanofibers. A mixed monolayer nanocellulose was found to be phase-separated system in the surface pressure-area isotherm analysis. The film formed patterned which clay nanoparticles nanofibers coexisted. As ratio increased, size decreased. free energy intermediate between those two components; however, it showed most hydrophilic characteristic by being wettable water. layered structure films longer spacing value than that nanoclay film, indicating change orientation. In contrast, in-plane order amorphous, no improvement periodicity or crystallinity observed even after annealing. addition, part selective molecular adsorption ability, possible form adsorbent patterns.
