| Description | Journal: Materials Research Express In this study, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) extracted from hybrid poplar residue was grafted with an aminosilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane (AEAPMDS). Supercritical $CO_{2}$ drying was employed to produce polymer aerogels. The effects of AEAPMDS on the properties of the aerogel were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the aminosilane had been grafted on CNC. The crystallinity decreased due to the introduction of amorphous AEAPMDS on the surface of CNC. Analysis of specific surface areas and pore diameters indicated that the modification failed to destroy the inner structure of the aerogel. Scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry revealed that three-dimensional network structure was conserved after modification but had a lower thermal stability. High $CO_{2}$ adsorption capacities (1.7 and 2.6 mmol $g^{−1}$) were measured at 1 bar and two temperatures, 25 and 0 °C, respectively. Therefore, the modification procedure could be a promising avenue for the preparation of aminosilane-functionalized CNC aerogels as a novel adsorption material. |
