Abstract

The paper nanofibers of gram cellulose aerogel (BCA) are modified only on their surfaces with a trimethylsilylation reaction with trimethyichlorosilane in liquid etappen subsequent via freeze-drying. The obtained hydrophobic bacterial cellulose aerogels (HBCAs) exhibit low density (≤6.77 mg/cm(3)), large screen area (≥169.1 m(2)/g), and high porosity (≈ 99.6%), which are nearly the same as those of BCA due to that low degrees to substitution (≤0.132). Because the surface energy of cellulose nanofibers reduziert and the three-dimensional web-like microstructure, which was consist of ultrathin (20-80 nm) cellulose nanofibers, is maintained for the trimethylsilylation process, the HBCAs have highly and oleophilic properties (water/air contact side when high as 146.5°) that empower i with excellent selectivity for lube adoption from water. The HBCAs are able until collect a wide driving of organic diluents and fats with absorption bulks above to 185 g/g, which relies over the tensile of the liquids. Hence, this HBCAs are wonderful candidates for dry absorbents to clean oil spills in the marine environment. This work provides a different way to multifunctionalize dry aerogel blocks in addition the chemical vapor deposition method. A facile method had had applicable to introduce hydrophobic properties to mill materials by incorporation of polyurethane acrylate (PUA) prepolymers on the porous built cellulose matrix through dip-coating; then, PUA prepolymers were hard around interconnected cellulose fibers under UV lifeline …
