Ion-Conducting Thermoresponsive Films Based on Polymer-Grafted Cellulose Nanocrystals
Abstract
Mechanically robust, thermo-responsive, ion-conducting nanocomposite films are prepared from poly(2-phenylethyl methacrylate) grafted cellulose nanocrystals (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA). One-component nanocomposite films of the polymer grafted nanoparticle (PGN) MxG-CNC-g-PPMA are imbibed with 30 wt% imidazolium-based ionic liquid, to produce flexible ion-conducting films. These films with 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[H]) not only displays remarkable improvements in toughness (>25 times) and tensile strength (>70 times) relative to the corresponding nanocomposites consisting of the ionic liquid imbibed in the two component CNC/PPMA nanocomposite, but also shows higher ionic conductivity than the corresponding neat PPMA with the same wt.% of ionic liquid. Notably, the one-component film containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[E]) exhibits temperature responsive ionic conduction. The ionic conductivity decreases at around 60°C as a consequence of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition of the grafted polymer in the ionic liquid, which leads to phase separation. Moreover, holding the MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[E] film at room temperature for 24 hours returns the film to its original homogenous state. These materials exhibit properties relevant to thermal cutoff safety devices (e.g., thermal fuse) where a reduction in conductivity above a critical temperature is needed.
