Abstract
Acetylated nanofibrillated cellulose (ANFC)/acrylic resin ABPE-10 composite film was prepared by impregnating ABPE-10 into ANFC films under negative pressure, which can enhance properties of ANFC films by forming an interpenetrating polymer network structure between ABPE-10 and the ANFC film. The ANFC/ABPE-10 composite film met the high performance flexible organic light-emitting diode substrate requirement, even when the ANFC dosage was as high as approximately 70%. The transparency of films with different ANFC dosages significantly increased from 67% (42 µm) to 88% (45 µm), as determined by ultraviolet-visible analysis. The composite film inherited the properties of AFNC, with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a ductile compact structure. The contact angles of ANFC films increased from 49.2° to 102.9° after dipping in ABPE-10. Additionally, the composite films had good surface smoothness and mechanical properties.
